  abstract = {{D}espite increasing attention for relationships between species richness and ecosystem services, for tropical forests such relationships are still under discussion. {C}ontradicting relationships have been reported concerning carbon stock, while little is known about relationships concerning timber stock and the abundance of non-timber forest product producing plant species ({NTFP} abundance). {U}sing 151 1-ha plots, we related tree and arborescent palm species richness to carbon stock, timber stock and {NTFP} abundance across the {G}uiana {S}hield, and using 283 1-ha plots, to carbon stock across all of {A}mazonia. {W}e analysed how environmental heterogeneity influenced these relationships, assessing differences across and within multiple forest types, biogeographic regions and subregions. {S}pecies richness showed significant relationships with all three ecosystem services, but relationships differed between forest types and among biogeographical strata. {W}e found that species richness was positively associated to carbon stock in all biogeographical strata. {T}his association became obscured by variation across biogeographical regions at the scale of {A}mazonia, resembling a {S}impson's paradox. {B}y contrast, species richness was weakly or not significantly related to timber stock and {NTFP} abundance, suggesting that species richness is not a good predictor for these ecosystem services. {O}ur findings illustrate the importance of environmental stratification in analysing biodiversity-ecosystem services relationships.},
