dc.description.abstractUnimodal patterns of diversity along gradients of both disturbance and productivity rank amongst the most celebrated generalizations in ecology, known as the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (IOH) and Productivity Diversity Hypothesis. However, doubt about their generality has arisen from studies that have failed to confirm the predicted patterns. Models suggest the interactive effects of disturbance and productivity on diversity to be responsible for the variability of diversity patterns.en_ZA
