Database manager(s): Francisco Gonçalves (francisco.goncalves@isced-huila.ed.ao); António Chisingui (valter.chissingui@isced-huila.ed.ao); José Tchamba (jose.tchamba@isced-huila.ed.ao)
Owner: ISCED-Huíla, Rua Sarmento Rodrigues, N.º 2, C.P. 230, Lubango-Angola
Scope: The database contains information on diversity, abundance and diameter (DBH>4,5 cm) of woody species from the woodlands of Huíla province, Angola. The species were locally identified based on familiarity of team members with local/regional flora or using the available filed guides.
