Figure 54.4 -Hypothesis: Productivity increases with species richness because certain species or functional groups facilitate the growth of other species by providing them with nutrients, partial shade, or other benefits. In looking at the data in Figure 54.4, how would you relate it to this hypothesis? A) The data do not relate to the hypothesis given. B) The hypothesis is partially supported. C) The hypothesis is rejected. D) The hypothesis is proven. E) The hypothesis is supported.
