Vegetation Productivity/Stability and Other Possible Ecological Invariant Relationships Demonstrated in a Microplot Multispecies Pasture Sward

Figure 12

Comparison of observed data and simulated mortality and growth functions for eight of twenty species (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th ranked taxa-species) which gave the greatest similarity with observed species mortality and vegetation composition. Points = observed, bold line, fit with only growth and mortality functions, and dashed, including conformity restraints. Coding as in Table 1.
