Database manager(s): Marco Chiminazzo (marcochiminazzo@gmail.com)
Owner: Marco Chiminazzo
Scope: Woody plants with DBH greater than 3 cm
Abstract: This dataset comprises data from swamp forests exposed to permanent flooding (or soil saturation) due to the elevation of the water table. Two fragments of this vegetation type were sampled in highlands from southeastern Brazil. A third fragment is currently being sampled and will soon be added to the dataset.
