The graph of 3p. IIIshows that as the amount of rainfall increases, the" number . oforganisms/Km2 decreases: The graph of Sp. IV shows that there isgradual increase in the number of organisms/km2 as the rainfallincreases. At 300mm to about 350mm rainfall there is no increase (stationarygrowth). Thereafter the number decreases until it comes to zero at about 430mmrainfall.
