You decide to volunteer at a community garden and are assigned to tend six equally sized vegetable beds. Three of the beds contain only tomato plants, while the other three contain tomatoes as well as snow peas, bell peppers, cucumbers, okra, and broccoli. You work hard all summer and fall, tending the plants through insect attacks, diseases, and severe summer storms. You harvest vegetables every three days and start to notice a pattern. The mixed vegetable plots consistently produce 4 pecks (a unit of dry goods measurement) each at every harvest, while the tomato-only plots produce between 1-6 pecks each at every harvest. The garden director notices the pattern as well, and knowing you are a biology student, she asks you for an explanation. What concept or hypothesis do you cite in your response? a) The model of island biogeography b) The diversity-stability hypothesis c) The tolerance model d) The species-productivity hypothesis

Which hypothesis best describes the idea that a small decline in species richness results in a large drop in ecosystem function? a. Diversity-stability hypothesis b. Redundancy hypothesis c. Keystone hypothesis d. Idiosyncratic hypothesis e. Community hypothesis
Q4.3. Many community ecologists are concerned about the effects of habitat fragmentation. In particular they worry that clear-cutting of old growth forests will produce small, isolated forest patches and that species will be lost from these smaller patches because small patches cannot support as long a food chain as bigger patches. This concern is based on which of the following hypotheses discussed in this chapter? The productivity hypothesis The ecosystem-size hypothesis The exploitation ecosystem hypothesis HSS's the 'world is green' hypothesis
