The Dja Faunal Reserve located in southeastern Cameroon represents the largest and
best protected rainforest patch in Cameroon. Here we make available a dataset on the
inventory of tree species collected across the Dja. For this study nine 5 km long and 5 m
wide transects were installed. All species with a diameter at breast height greater than 10
cm were recorded, identified and measured. A total of 11546 individuals were recorded,
corresponding to a total of 312 species identified with 60 genera containing unidentified
taxa. Of the 54 identified families Fabaceae, Rubiaceae and Malvaceae were the most
species rich, whereas Fabaceae, Phyllantaceae and Olacaceae were the most abundant.
Finally, Tabernaemontana crassa was the most abundant species across the Reserve. This
dataset provides a unique insight into the tree diversity of the Dja Faunal Reserve and is
now publically available and usable.
