Question

The great German naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt observed that within a region species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only up to limit. In fact, relation between species richness & area for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm) plants, birds, bats, freshwater fishes) turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola. Now find out correct equations shown in the graph.

• A. I – S – CA^z; II – Log S = log C + Z log A
• B. I – Log S = log C + Z log A; II – S – CA^z
• C. I – S – CA^z + log C; II – Log S = log C + Z log A
• D. I – S – CA^z + log A; II – Log S = log C + Z log A

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

I – S – CA^z; II – Log S = log C + Z log A
