Curves A, B, and C show the relationship between species richness (number of species) and NPP (net primary productivity). These three curves represent three separate experiments that took place in the same environment (soil, temperature, and water). The difference between the three curves was the order in which the 20 species were added to the environment. Which experiment required more species to finally add the one key species that contributes a large amount of NPP?
