Question

log S = log C + Z log A
In the given equation of species-area relationship, the value of regression coefficient for a whole continent, would be
(a) 0.1-0.2
(b) 0.5-0.7
(c) 0.6-1.2
(d) 0.3-0.5

Answer 1

Answer:

For large areas like the entire continents the value in the range of 0.6    to 1.2

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct answer is $0.6-1.2$

Explanation:

• Under logarithmic scale the graph of species area relationship would be come out to be a straight line .
• The equation is given by log S = log C + Z log A in which
  S = Species richness
   A = Area
   Z = Slope of line
   C = Y - intercept
• This straight line of graph indicates that as the increase the area the species richness will also increase.
  
  Hence , $0.6-1.2$ is the correct value of the regression coefficient for a whole continent .
