title: African tropical tree database

description: We censused all trees greater than or equal to cm dbh in 50 ha of forest in Korup National Park, southwest Cameroon, in the central African coastal forest known for high diversity and endemism. The plot included 329,519 individuals and 493 species, but 128 of those taxa remain partially identified. Abundance varied over four orders of magnitude, from 1 individual per 50 ha (34 species) to Phyllobotryon spathulatum, with 26,741 trees; basal area varied over six orders of magnitude. Abundance patterns, both the percentage of rare species and the dominance of abundant species were similar to those from 50-ha plots censused the same way in Asia and Latin America. Rare species in the Korup plot were much less likely to be identified than common species: 42% of taxa with greater than 10 individuals in the plot were identified to species, compared to 95% of the abundant taxa. Geographic ranges for all identified species were gleaned from the literature and online flora. Thirteen of the plot species are known only from Korup National Park (all discovered during the plot census), and 39 are restricted to the Nigeria-Cameroon coastal zone. Contrary to expectation, species with narrow geographic ranges were more abundant in the plot than average. The small number of narrow endemics (11% of the species), many locally abundant, mitigates short-term extinction risk, either from demographic stochasticity or habitat loss.

title: Amboseli Elephant Database

description: The main database (in Access) comprises visual on-the-ground sightings by (over the years) sixteen observers of (now) 53 elephants families (ca. 2000 known individuals) of the Amboseli elephant population from September 1972 until the present. Each record (n &gt; 30,000) of the main table includes the following fields: date; time; daily record sequence; group type; location (by 1 km grid square and since 2000 by GPS UTM coordinate); habitat type at beginning and end of observation; group size; number of bulls; quality of the count; bull age classes; presence of musth males; presence of estrous females; activity of group; ID of observer; quality of individual recognition of females and males. Linked tables include: individual IDs; family IDs; habitat types; activity types; observer IDs. Ancillary databases include demography (dates of births, deaths, cause of death); rainfall (since 1972); watertable (since 1984); 10 vegetation plots; behavioral postures; digital photo IDs; vocalizations. Since 2002 a GIS database (in ArcInfo) has been maintained incorporating ca. 100 geographical, geo-physical, hydrological, vegetation and elephant distribution layers.

title: Ituri Forest Dynamics Plots, Democratic Republic of Congo

description: The Ituri Forest is possibly the largest moist forest remaining in Africa, and is exceptionally valuable for its populations of large mammals. Instead of containing one large plot, Ituri Forest Dynamics Plot (FDP) is a collection of four ten-hectare plots, two in Lenda and two in Edoro. All four plots are located in the Congo Basin in lowland moist forest with seasonal rainfall and very flat terrain. The plots were initiated in 1994 with support from the CTFS/STRI, Wildlife Conservation Society, and the Centre de Formation et de Recherche en Conservation Forestiere (CEFRECOF), and focus on the dynamics of populations of mbau (Caesalpiniaceae Gilbertiodendron dewevrei), an abundant canopy tree that dominates substantial areas of the forest and sometimes can comprise from seventy to ninety percent of the canopy. Two of the 10-ha plots are in mixed evergreen forest (at Edoro) and two are in monodominant mbau stands (Lenda). Researchers are exploring the consequence s of species dominance on overall forest diversity and the distribution of other tree species. Additionally, the Ituri FDP data is closely linked with ongoing wildlife studies at the site.

title: Korup Forest Dynamics Plot, Cameroon

description: Korup National Park, along the western border of Cameroon, contains one of Africa's richest rainforests -- an evergreen forest in a region of high, strongly seasonal rainfall (about 5.5m/yr). BioResources Development and Conservation Programme - Cameroon and CTFS/STRI initiated a Forest Dynamics Plot in Korup in 1996, in conjunction with a medical drug discovery and biodiversity conservation project of the International Cooperative Biodiversity Group. This project applies information learned about forest dynamics and demographics to the discovery and development of potential new medicines from rainforest plants, with a focus on finding cures to malaria, leishmaniasis, HIV, and various other diseases with tropical origin. Tree density in the Forest Dynamics Plot is very high, and often exceeds 7,500 trees per hectare. Such density is remarkable compared to the Panama FDP which has 4,880 trees/ha, the Peninsular Malaysian FDP which has 6,700 trees/ha, and the Ecuadorian FDP which has 6,000 trees/ha. The species diversity at Korup FDP compares favorably to other Forest Dynamics Plots around the world, with approximately 600 different species expected in the 50-ha plot. The plot's high species diversity bodes well for the drug discovery program at the plot, and the species demographics information obtained from recensuses will provide necessary information for sustainable harvest and conservation of medicinal plants.

title: YasunÃ­ Forest Dynamics Plot, Ecuador

description: YasunÃ­ National Park in eastern Ecuador appears to be one of the most biologically diverse sites in the Amazon Basin. The Pontificia Universidad CatÃ³lica de Ecuador, the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and CTFS/STRI initiated a Forest Dynamics Plot along the Rio Tiputini in YasunÃ­, Napo Province in non-seasonal, old-growth lowland moist forest in 1996. Within one hectare at the YasunÃ­ FDP, there are 644 species. Comparing this number with species counts in one hectare at other plots -- Panamanian plot has 168 species and plot on peninsular Malaysia has 497 species --the richness of this area becomes even more apparent. When the 50-ha plot is censused, we expect that there will be about 1,300 species in the plot. A socio-economic study on the local Waotani community was conducted near the site, and found that distance from large markets is inversely related to non-timber forest product use.
