ForestPlots.net combines the work and shared vision of thousands of partners across the globe. We all want this collaborative effort to continue and thrive, and so we have a code of conduct that we ask those interested in joining to first read and sign.
Plot records managed at ForestPlots.net reflect the hard work and shared vision of thousands of partners to monitor tropical forests across the planet. Please read our Code of Conduct for more information. This sets out our vision of how we should work together to ensure that this collaborative project continues to grow.
ForestPlots.net regularly makes data publicly available through our data package page, each package having its own DOI. Additionally some plot records are open access for non-commercial users who register. These publicly available data are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA)
If you wish to work with further records then please consider how you will contribute. We expect all users of the data to contribute to ForestPlots.net (see ‘Contribute’ in our Code of Conduct).
Data curated by ForestPlots.net should not be stored in another database, redistributed, nor shared with any third parties, without the express permission of the ForestPlots.net Collaboration and Data Request Committee and the data owners.
