Desert ecologists are interested in the relationship between plant productivity and competition.  They set up a productivity gradient by progressively increasing the amount of water in a series of plots composed of the same type of soil and with the same exposure to sunlight.  They then measured the level of competition in each plot by counting numbers of species.  They discovered that as productivity increased, competition did as well.

The dependent variable in the experiment is the

• Amount of water applied to each plot

• Productivity of each plot

• Competition level in each plot

• Amount of sunlight available to each plot
