Comment on "Productivity is a poor predictor of plant species richness" / J.D. Fridley, J.P. Grime, M.A. Huston, S. Pierce, S.M. Smart, K. Thompson, L. Börger, R.W. Brooker, B.E.L. Cerabolini, N. Gross,

Abstract:
Adler et al. (Reports, 23 September 2011, p. 1750) eported “weak and variable” relationships between productivity and species richness and dispute the “humped-back” model (HBM) of plant diversity. We show that their analysis lacks sufficient high-productivity sites, ignores litter, and excludes anthropogenic sites. If corrected, the data set of Adler et al. would apparently yield
strong HBM support.
