The Center for Tropical Forest Science-Forest Global Earth Observatory (CTFS-ForestGEO) is the only forest monitoring network applying a standardized protocol to forest plots worldwide. Here are links for some of the projects we actively participate or led.

CTFS-ForestGEO sites
ForC, which was developed in this lab, is the largest and most comprehensive database of forest carbon stocks and annual fluxes. The database contains data on ground-based measurements of ecosystem-level C stocks and annual fluxes in forests globally, along with site information, disturbance history, and information on methodology. The database currently contains >17,500 records from >2,700 plots and >2,000 sites.
ForC sites, current as of January 2018.
