Abstract
The material investigated mainly comes from the humid tropical forest in Venezuelan Guiana where an inventory was initiated by the Ministry of “Agriculture y Cria”(MAC) of Venezuela together with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UNO. In this inventory all arboreous species of this area were statistically covered. The total area studied for the inventory amounted to about 67 km in lenght and approximately 25 m in width, covering in total about 155,5 ha. A clearing of the above mentioned length and width was cut through the forest to collect trees, shrubs, and partly also lianas. In total, 67.777 individual trees (and shrubs) with a diameter of not less than 10 cm at breast height were included.
