Table 3.
Overview of the two datasets used in this study, showing sample size, geographical extent and the number of biogeographical strata and forest types included.
| Guiana Shield dataset | Amazonia dataset | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of 1-ha plots | 151 | 283 |
| Rectangular geographical extent | 1.7 × 106 km2 | 9.4 × 106 km2 |
| Number of biogeographical strata | 4 subregions | 6 regions |
| Number of forest types | 2 | 2 |
| Mean ± s.d | Mean ± s.d | |
| Aboveground carbon stock (Mg ha−1) | 212.2 ± 49.48 | 175.34 ± 59.13 |
| Timber stock (m3 ha−1) | 119.8 ± 67.82 | NA |
| NTFP abundance (stems ha−1) | 102.71 ± 57.94 | NA |
| Woody species richness (species ha−1) | 123.93 ± 50.37 | 141.60 ± 62.96 |
Biogeographical strata and forest types were recognized after Stropp30, ter Steege et al.32,45 and ter Steege & Zondervan46. In addition, for each of the three ecosystem service stock components and woody species richness showing their mean value and standard deviation (mean ± s.d.). See Table S1.3 for a summary of the plot data, including references. NTFP abundance = abundance of species that produce non-timber forest products.
