TmFO includes so far 29 experimental sites set up by various institutes and research centers around the Tropics. TmFO spreads over three main tropical forest regions: the Amazon basin, the Congo Basin, and South East Asia. TmFO encompasses:
12 countries
50+ researchers
32 experimental sites
657 permanent sample plots (in 2021, and more to come)
1276 ha of forest monitored over 5 to 29 years
TmFO focuses on tropical logged forests and we expect new plots to have a least the below-mentioned features:
pre-logging inventories
standardized tree measurements
at least one post-logging inventory
a minimal size of 0.25 ha
TmFO is an expanding network and new partners willing to join the network are encouraged to do so!
