accept or reject the hypothesis. 接受或否認此假說.
if their new data do not support their hypotheses,scientists come up with other testable explanations.如果新的資料不支持他們的假設，科學家想出其他檢驗的解釋。
this process continues until there is general agreement among scientists in the field being studied that a particular hypothesis is the best explanation of the data.
這過程持續，直到在該領域的科學家中普遍同意某一假說是最好的解釋資料。
after bormann and likens confirmed that the soil in a cleared forest also loses phosphorus,they measured losses of other soil nutrients,which also supported their hypothesis.鮑爾曼和比喻後證實，土壤在被清除的森林也會失去磷，他們慎重的減少其他土壤養分，這也支持了他們的假設。
a welltested and widely accepted scientific hypothesis or a group of related hypotheses is called a scientific theory.一個適當的測試和廣為接受的科學假設或一組相關的假設是所謂的科學理論。
thus,bormann and likens and their colleagues developed a theory that trees and other plants hold soil in place and help it to retain water and nutrients needed by the plants for their growth.因此，鮑爾曼和比喻和他們的同事發展出一種理論，即樹木和其他植物的土壤中持有的地方，並幫助它保持植物所需要增長的水分和養分。
