The network recognizes the importance of collaborating with local institutions to strengthen science capacity in an era of rapidly changing landscapes and climate to understand and predict forest dynamics. ForestGEO Sites Ecological Zone Boreal tundra woodland Subtropical dry forest Subtropical humid forest Subtropical mountain system Temperate continental forest Temperate mountain system Temperate oceanic forest Tropical dry forest Tropical moist deciduous forest Tropical mountain system Tropical rainforest Number of Censuses Please enter a value between 1-8. Explore all of ForestGEO's forest research sites with our interactive map. Click on the icons to see more information about each of our sites. Narrow your search by using the filters above the map for type of ecological zone and number of censuses completed. You can also zoom in and move the map around to get a closer look at the sites. Each ForestGEO site is typically between 25 and 50 hectares. In each site, all free-standing trees with a trunk diameter (at breast height) of at least 1 cm are tagged, measured, and identified to species.
