Exam 16: Species Abundance and Diversity

In the Grass Park Experiment,researchers have fertilized a grassland at the Rothamsted Experimental Station in Great Britain since 1856.Sampling for species diversity through time shows that rank-abundance curves have gotten __ over time,indicating _ species evenness.
