  • The Nouragues forestry experimental site is located the Nouragues experimental station in French Guiana (other experimental sites than Nouragues plots are established in Nouragues station). This experimental site is composed by several plots not contiguous, some of them are divided into smaller plots (1ha). For each plot, the following information is recorded for all trees and lianas with DBH ≥ 10cm : 1. location of individuals inside the plot, 2. botanical identification (when it is possible), 3. diameter at breast height, or 30 cm above last aerial root, last buttress or last irregularity, 4. total height of tree (subsample). Since 2012, on Grand Plateau and Petit Plateau : 1. coefficient of light exposure 2. coefficient of infestation by lianas in tree crown.

  • Guyafor is a network of permanent forest plots installed in French Guiana. The site of Régina St Georges covers a 14ha area. It is composed of one plot managed by ONF. 8587 trees are being followed since 2003. 5 campaignes of inventories have been made in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009.

  • Guyafor is a network of permanent forest plots installed in French Guiana. The site of Risquetout covers a 23,7ha area. It is composed of 4 plots managed by ONF. 7174 trees are being followed since 1995. 9 campaignes of inventories have been made in 1995, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009.

  • The experimental site of Guyaflux in the Paracou forest (Sinnamary, French Guiana) has been created in 2003 and is set up for at least 20 years. Guyaflux has several aims : 1. to characterise the greenhouse gases exchanges between the forest ecosystem and the atmosphere. 2. to assess the contribution of Guianese tropical humid forest ecosystem to the biospheric carbon sink. 3. to assess the impact of environmental constraints on carbon footprint. 4. to analyze the contribution of different compartments of the ecosystem (soil, subsoil, canopy) to storage and water and carbon flows. 5. to model the primary productivity of this ecosystem by linking carbon flow and tree growth. 6. to assess interactions between water cycle, carbon cycle and major soil minerals (nitrogen and phosphorus) The experimental set-up is composed of a 55m-high flux tower, which measures gases exchanges in real-time.Several data types are registrated : microclimatic data, carbon and water flows between forest ecosystem and atmosphere, CO2, CH4, H2O, water content of the soil, trees growth, evapo-transpiration from the trees...To obtain the flows of water and carbon, the turbulent correlations method is used. The project owner is Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA). NORELEC is the master builder of the tower. The Guyaflux project received 55% of its funding by INRA and 45% by Ministry of Research and European Union.
