Abstract
Adler et al. (Reports, 23 September 2011, p. 1750) reported “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.
