David Tilman's long-term experiments using outdoor plot provide some tentative answer for the phrase. He found that plots with more species showed less year-to-year variation in total biomass. He also showed that in his experiments, increased diversity contributed to higher productivity.

3.1 Anons Algae are chlorophyll-bearing-simple, thalloid, autotrophic and gery, aquatic (both fresh water and marine) organisms. They oceur variety of other habitats: moist stones, soils and wood. Some of the bear). The form and size of algae is highly variable, ranging from colonta forms like Volvax and the filamentous forms like Ulothrix and Spirogyma (Figure 3.1). A few of the marine forms such as kelps, form massive planit bodies. The algae reproduce by vegetative, asexual and sexual methods. Vegetative reproduction is by fragmentation. Each fragment develops into a thallus. Asexual reproduction is by the production of different types of spores, the most common being the zoospores. They are flagellated takes place through fusion of two gametes. These gametes can be takes piace through fusion of two gametes. These gametes can be but similar in size (as in Spirogyra). Such reproduction is called isogamous. Fusion of two gametes dissimilar in size, as in specles of Euctortra is termed as anisogamous. Fusion between one large, non. motile (static) female gamete and a smaller, motile male gamete is termed oogamous, e.g.. Volvox, Fucus.
