What does the equation log S = log C + Z log A represent?
What does the equation log S = log C + Z log A represent?
The species richness for a given taxonomic group in a region
The relationship between species richness and area for different taxa
The slope of the regression line for species richness and area
The y:intercept of the regression line for species richness and area
Solution
The equation represents the relationship between species richness (S) and area (A) for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm plants, birds, bats, freshwater fishes), which turns out to be a rectangular hyperbolA) The equation has log species richness (S), log constant (C), and Z log area (A), where Z is the slope of the regression line.
