modelo unimodal
Explanation:
"One promising general model for the prediction of herbaceous plant diversity is the standing crop-species richness relationship ("hump-backed model") first proposed by Grime (1973a, 1973b, 1979), which states that species richness reaches a maximum at intermediate standing crop."

"Grime (1979) hypothesised that the relationship between plant species richness and biomass is unimodal, which richness being highest at intermediate levels of biomass. [...] Unimodal or hump-backed relationships are statistically significant in several types of wetland [...] For various points of view on Grime's hump-backed model, see Forum (1997, pp. 95-102)."

O modelo unimodal de Grime. (1973) descreve a variação da riqueza em relação a um gradiente de estresse ou perturbação.

"Parece que el modelo más aceptado es el modelo unimodal, en el que las máximas riquezas se alcanzan en niveles de productividad intermedios (Grime 1973; Puerto et al., 1990; García 1992)."

Perdón; tu término es "humped-back", no "hump-backed"; pero es lo mismo:

"John Philip Grime FRS is a prominent British ecologist and emeritus professor at the University of Sheffield.[1] He is best known for his CSR theory on plant strategies, for the unimodal relationship between species richness and site productivity (the "humped-back model")"

  -> Muchas gracias, John ;-) Mais oui! Un modelo jorobado me gusta mucho más. Los mateméticos españoles son muy sosos....

agree  DLyons: Yup. For some reason, I was thinking of Bactrians.

  -> Ha! Thanks, Donal :) Grime was thinking of a dromedary, apparently.
