This data reports a list of all trees DBH > 10 cm in four 50 × 50 m (0.25 ha) permanent plots at Mashpi Rainforest Biodiversity Reserve in the Ecuadorian Chocó forest. Plots were established within an altitudinal gradient from 800 to 1200 m. We collected, labelled, measure and identify all trees found within the plots. All voucher specimens are available at the herbarium of Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica (HUTI) in Quito, Ecuador. We found a total 133 stems representing 93 species and 36 families. Each plot had between 27 and 40 trees. Our list of species includes four threatened species under IUCN criteria. We also report the number of individuals of each species and its diameter at breast height (DBH) and height. This information is a baseline for further studies to contribute to the conservation of the Chocó, one of the 35 biodiversity hotspots is the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena. Even though this area is one of the most biodiverse in the planet, the botanical composition of the Chocó is still poorly known.
该数据报告了厄瓜多尔乔科森林马什皮雨林生物多样性保护区内四个50×50米（0.25公顷）永久样地中所有胸径大于10厘米的树木清单。样地设置在海拔800至1200米的海拔梯度范围内。我们对样地内发现的所有树木进行了采集、标记、测量和鉴定。所有凭证标本都存放在厄瓜多尔基多的印美技术大学植物标本馆（HUTI）。我们共发现133株树木，代表93个物种和36个科。每个样地有27至40棵树。我们的物种清单包括国际自然保护联盟标准下的四种濒危物种。我们还报告了每个物种的个体数量及其胸径（DBH）和树高。这些信息是进一步研究的基线，有助于保护乔科地区，它是35个生物多样性热点地区之一的通贝斯-乔科-马格达莱纳地区。尽管该地区是地球上生物多样性最丰富的地区之一，但乔科地区的植物组成仍然鲜为人知。
