Abstract

Pan et al . claim that our results actually support a strong linear positive relationship between productivity and richness, whereas Fridley et al . contend that the data support a strong humped relationship. These responses illustrate how preoccupation with bivariate patterns distracts from a deeper understanding of the multivariate mechanisms that control these important ecosystem properties.
