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 a...
