Adаpted frоm Flоder аnd Sоmmer (1999) In аn experiment communities of plankton in a lake were isolated in long cylinders submerged in a lake.  These cylinders were subjected to mixing (by bubbling air up through them) at various frequencies (ranging from every 2 days to never disturbed).  Diversity and species richness were measured after 36 days and the following data were obtained.  What relationship between diversity/richness and disturbance do these data support?
