Below are data from a study following different grassland habitats that experience fire at different frequencies. In each graph, the x axis is the number of plant species found in the habitat and the y axis is the percent of grassland habitats sampled. The habitats are split into those experiencing fire approximately every year (left), every 5 years (middle), and every 10 years (right). Fire Every "1 year Fire Every "5 years Fire Every "10 years Number of Plant Species Number of Plant Species Number of Plant Species Do these data support the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis? We cannot determine from these data if the hypothesis is supported Yes O No Percent of Habitats Percent of Habitats Percent of Habitats

Below are data from a study following different grassland habitats that experience fire at different
frequencies. In each graph, the x axis is the number of plant species found in the habitat and the y
axis is the percent of grassland habitats sampled. The habitats are split into those experiencing fire
approximately every year (left), every 5 years (middle), and every 10 years (right).
