  • 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.

  • Subset of the Pléiades image that covers the experimental station Nouragues in French Guiana.

  • Habitats inventories have been installed over the years in French Guiana using a standardized multi-scale protocol. In each site, we established two to four transects, about 2.5 to 3-km long in different directions to optimally sample the local environmental variability. Each 20-m width transect was divided into 100 m segments so that the basic sampling units are 0.2-ha plots. All the plots were geo-referenced using a Garmin 76CSx GPS receiver and delineated in the field using a Vertex laser clinometer. In each plot, all trees (including palm-trees) greater than 20 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) or above the buttresses were identified by local forest-plotters from ONF. They referred to a vernacular nomenclature whose names correspond either to a botanical species, genus or family. Tested against true botanical data on 4279 trees (Guitet et al., 2014), this nomenclature proved 83% effective accuracy at the family level and 74% at the level of the most precise botanical equivalent of our vernacular names (i.e. the species, genus or family level depending on the precision reached by forest-plotters). Soil samples were also collected in 490 selected plots representative of the different topographical positions along each transect. Chemical and textural analyses are available. Plants of the under-storey have been collected by IRD in several 5m x 5m sub-plots on different sites : Kourouaï, Piton Baron, Aïmara, Saut Parasol, Mont Itoupé, Waki, Toponowini, Bagote, Haute Beiman, Roche Koutou, Regina. Standardized line transects surveys were conducted by ONCFS in 25 sites on the same transects in order to record large mammals and terrestrial birds. Transects were walked at less than 1 kmh-1 speed every morning (7:00-11:00) and afternoon (14:30-18:00) by only one observer by trail, systematically alternating transects on consecutive days to avoid observer bias. All encounters of focus species and their localization on the trail were systematically recorded and the perpendicular distance between animal and transect was measured with a laser ranger finder to the nearest meter.

  • This “Inventaire Papetier” was conducted by the CTFT in 1975. The block covers 59 895 ha. 34 016 trees have been inventoried in 244 plots (120 ha) Pre-census DBH is 15 cm on all plot (originally trees with DBH 10-15cm have been measured on one plot out of 10 but not included in the digital version) DBH have been measured by classes : 15-20 cm for the first class and with a range of 10 cm since 20 cm. Plots have been located on GIS in 2008 using original maps and field note-books (indicating slopes, rivers, etc...).

  • The image covers the area between Kourou and Sinnamary near the guyanese spatial center.

  • One aerial photograph (IGNF_PVA_1-0__1969-09-18__C92PHQ5671_1968_GUY19P_0139) acquired by Institut Géographique National (IGN). The image covers the area around Diane and Malmanoury in French Guiana. We used the image for the project "Feasibility study of the implementation of forest firewalls on the Guyanese Space Center".

  • <strong>This data is not up to date with the order dated 30 August 2021 amending the order dated 23 November 1987 on ship safety, which now raises the limit for category 4 ships to 5 miles from the nearest coast.</strong> The navigation category allocated to a ship is indicated on its shipping license, together with any applicable restrictions. This limit was produced by Shom in application of section II.14 of article 1 of decree no. 84-810 amended on 30 August 1984. Navigation categories are defined in article 110.10 of the rules appended to the order of 23 November 1987 on shipping safety.

  • Guyadiv is a network of permanent forest plots installed in French Guiana. The site of Monts d'Arawa is composed of 2 1ha-plots. A complete inventory has been made in 2006 : 1528 trees have been registrated. 512, 480 and 530 species have been identifies respectively on each plot. The percents of trees identified to the species level are : 99.6%, 99.8%, 99.4% on the 3 plots. 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 200 meters in each direction.

  • 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).

  • In accordance with decree no. n°2019-165 of 5 March 2019, Shom measures and updates maritime altimetric datums or hydrographic datums for French ports in mainland France and overseas administrative departments and authorities. These datums are provided to allow for standardisation based on legal altimetric datum systems (e.g. IGN69). Shom also disseminates typical tide figures for each port (lowest tide, mean tide, etc.). The Marine Altimetric Reference Value (RAM) product is available for ports in mainland France and for overseas territories with a tidal observatory.
