Data on dendrometric parameters, basic wood density, below- and aboveground biomass of tree species from Mangrove, Miombo, Mopane, and Mecrusse woodlands.

Mozambique is composed by the following forest types: Miombo, Mopane, Mecrusse, and Mangrove. Data on basic wood density at different height levels, tree component dry-mass, and other dendrometric parameters (root collar diameter, diameter at breast height, crown height, crown diameter, live crown length, and stem volume) for eight species typical of Miombo (Afzelia quanzensis Welw., Millettia stuhlmannii Taub., Pterocarpus angolensis DC., Brachystegia spiciformis Benth., and Julbernardia globiflora (Benth.) Troupin), Mopane (Colophospermum mopane Kirk ex J. Léonard), Mecrusse (Androstachys johnsonii Prain), and Mangrove (Avicennia marina (Forssk.)) forests collected from five provinces (Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala, and Manica) of Mozambique are presented in this article. Biomass data of Miombo, Mecrusse, and Mopane woodlands were collected destructively, whereas those of Mangrove forests were collected using non-destructive methods.
