As the area increases, species richness
As the area increases, species richness
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B increases upto a limit
Alexander von Humboldt explained the species-area relationship which states that within a region, species richness increased with increasing explored area but only upto a limit. On a logarithmic scale, the relationship is a straight line described by the equation:
Log S = log C + Z log A (as shown below diagrammatically)
where;
S = Species richness
A = Area
Z = Slope of the line (regression coefficient)
C = Y-intercept
