Response to Comments on "Productivity Is a Poor Predictor of Plant Species Richness". Science, 335(6075):1441.
Pan et al. claim that the results by Adler et al. actually show a strong linear positive relationship between productivity and richness, while Fridley et al. contend that the data show a strong humped relationship. These responses illustrate how the preoccupation with bivariate patterns distracts from a deeper understanding of the multivariate mechanisms that control these important ecosystem properties.
