The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset acquired on 26th September 2011 covers part of the Paracou experimental station in French Guiana. Plots entirely covered include Paracou 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14. Plots 3, 6, 13, and 15 are partially covered by the data. The area includes both natural unlogged forest and logged over forest.

The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired on 7 April 2009, covers two seperate areas along the track leading to St Elie in French Guiana. The northern plot has an area of 4.5 sq.km. This area covers the 100 hectares IRD-biodiversity plot. The southern area (1.4 sq.km) covers a grove of Spirotropis longifolia. The Lidar data was acquired as part of the Guyafor project. It was shared with the ESA Tropisar project and the Biomass project at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

High density (20 pt/m2) aerial laser scanning (LIDAR) dataset acquired in march 2012. Covers 24 km2 including the research station in the Nouragues reserve.

The aerial laser scanning (ALS) dataset, acquired between 8 and 9 April 2009, covers five plots of Crique Plomb and Montagne Plomb area in French Guiana. In this area. the forest presents contrasting and diversified characteristics: high forest, forest grown on ferricrust, and superficial saprolit with high density of stem per hectare. Ground echoes are available as well as a digital terrain model (DTM), a digital surface model (DSM), a digital canopy model (DCM) with a 1 meter resolution and a triangulated irregular network (TIN) digital terrain model with a precision of 5 meters.

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.
