ForestPlots.net provides a unique place for everyone who wants to measure, monitor and understand the world’s forests, and especially the tropical forests. Together we track more than 7,044 forest plots in 63 countries, recording the work of over 2,800 people.
ForestPlots.net aims to help and connect forest scientists and forest people worldwide.
Partners independently access, analyse and manage the information from their own plots, and can choose to join and initiate their own collaborative projects across countries and continents.
ForestPlots.net hosts data from many individual researchers and networks including AfriTRON, ECOFOR, PPBio, RAINFOR, SECO and T-FORCES. Find out more about being involved. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
Through Forestplots.net you can securely store, manage and analyse tropical forest plot data. You choose the level of access to your data. This can be just your research group, other collaborators, or give open access to all registered ForestPlots.net users.
You can showcase your data to colleagues with similar interests. Data sharing for regional and large scale-analysis is facilitated if you choose to collaborate with other users.
ForestPlots.net stores and serves stem data and metadata for multi- and single-census plots in forests and savannas, including trees, lianas, species, demography, traits and soils.
Please read our code of conduct and contact us at admin@forestplots.net if you would like to store your plot data securely in ForestPlots.net.
Data contained in ForestPlots.net are based on the shared vision and hard work of hundreds of people across the globe. If you would like to use data from ForestPlots.net, firstly, please read our Code of Conduct. This sets out our vision of how we should work together to ensure that this collaborative project continues to grow.
Our global Community of Contributors is supported by our Plots team - Aurora Levesley, Karina Melgaço, and Georgia Pickavance. Proposals for collaboration are assessed by diverse, continent-specific committees. We invite you to join us to support equitable and sustainable collaboration among forest scientists and people worldwide.

FORESTPLOTS.NET WAS STARTED IN 2009
ForestPlots.net uses a web application with a modular design. The front end was developed using Microsoft.net framework and interacts with a Microsoft SQL server database. The relational database uses more than 140 tables to store information on plots, trees, species and traits.
THE EARLIEST PLOT RECORDED WAS IN 1939
