Summary:The present paper summarizes the results of a study on the growth of 17 timber species that are commonly logged in African rainforest areas. In addition, the data are compared with the results of growth ring analyses that were carried out in Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Gabon. The data were collected in a series of sampling campaigns to monitor stem girths in tree plots (Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Ghana and Gabon). They will provide a basis for calculating rotations between potential successive logging operations within the framework of forest development projects.
