Summary
Markov models of the dynamics of six real communities are examined to derive the predicted changes in species richness and evenness when these communities are subjected to quantified disturbance frequency and intensity gradients and conclude that extant models provide little reason to believe that disturbance should play more than a subtle role in determining patterns of diversity in nature.
