The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired on 1 october 2005, covers five plots of the Montagne des Chevaux and the Montagnes des Serpents areas in French Guiana. Each subsite is covered by one data file. The Z2 data area covers a spirotropis forest type area, the Z3 data area covers a riparian vegetation with Avicenia, and the Z4 data area covers a swamp forest.

Several forest inventories in mangroves were conducted in different places and on different dates. Inventories take place at 6 main locations : Iracoubo, Sinnamary, Macouria, Cayenne, Petit Cayenne and Kaw. 1. at Iracoubo, forest inventories were carried out in 2003 and cover an area of 4800 m², 2. at Sinnamary, forest inventories were conducted in 1997, 2003 and 2004 on 9440 m², 3. at Macouria, 2824 m² were inventoried in 2006, 4. in the south-west of Cayenne, 10800 m² were inventoried in 1993, 5. at Petit-Cayenne, forest inventories were conducted in 2011 on 10000 m², 6. and in the Area of Kaw, three inventories in 2002, 2004 and 2005 cover an area of 34925 m². During the forest inventories, the collected data concern DBH, overall height or 1st branch height, the inter-trees distance in a forest plot, sometimes the surface salinity and state of the tree (living/dead).

The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset acquired on 24 September 2014 covers three ares of Montagne Plomb. Z1 (North Eastern part, north of crique Plomb); point density: all returns 19.30 last only 10.62 (per meter square) Z2 (central part, Eastern part of the mountain); point density: all returns 16.80 last only 10.16 (per meter square) Z3 (most western part, western side of the mountain) ; point density: all returns 17.08 last only 10.48 (per square units) Lidar Riegl LMS Q560 onboard a plane operated by Altoa, swath angle +/-20deg

Guyadiv is a network of permanent forest plots installed in French Guiana. The site of Rivière Grand Inini is composed of two 20x500m-plots. A complete inventory has been made in 1990 : 1266 trees with dbh>=10cm have been registrated. 621 species have been identified in the first plot and 639 in the second plot. 99,7% and 99, 4% of the registrated trees have been identified to the species level, respectively on each plot. We only have the point coordinates and not the precise demarcation of the sample plots. In order to calculate the bounding box for these plots, we have expanded the point location 500 meters in each direction.

The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired in 2007, covers the research area in the Nouragues reserve. Ground echoes are available as well as a digital terrain model (DTM), a digital surface model (DSM), and a digital canopy model (DCM) with a 1 meter resolution.

The site Roche Koutou is composed of four 2 to 3km-transects (20m wide). 4411 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). Fauna inventories have been made by Office national de la chasse et de la faune sauvage (ONCFS) few days after. 756 under-storey plants have been inventoried on 34 plots on this site (IRD). Soils have been described using 16 samples (1.20m depth max.). No laboratory analysis available for soils.

The site Toponowini is composed of four 3km-transects (20m wide). 4603 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). Fauna inventories have been made by Office national de la chasse et de la faune sauvage (ONCFS) few days after. 506 under-storey plants have been recorded on 20 25m²-plots by Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD). Soils have been described using 23 samples (1.20m depth max.). Laboratory analysis are available for two soil-profile.

The site Quartzites is composed of two 3km-transects (20m wide). 2638 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). No fauna inventories available. 276 under-storey plants have been recorded on 17 25m²-plots by Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD). Soils have been described using 13 samples (1.20m depth max.) and two soil pits (1.50m depth). Laboratory analyses are available for one profile and for the two soil pits
