Solution
The correct option is A Log S = log C + Z log A
The relationship between species richness and area says that within a region, species richness increases with increasing explored area only up to a certain limit.
Across a wide variety of taxa such as angiosperms, plants, birds, bats, etc., the relation between species richness and area is represented by a rectangular hyperbola curve which is expressed by the equation
S = CAZ
Where, S is species richness
A is available area
Z is slope of the line
C is Y- intercept
When this graph is plotted in a logarithmic scale, the relationship is expressed as a straight line which is described by the equation:
log S = log C + Z log A
Hence the correct option is
b. Log S = log C + Z log A
Log S = log C + Z log A
