Answer:
The slope of regression (z) has a great significance in order to find a species-area relationship. It has been found that in smaller areas (where the species-area relationship is analyzed), the value of slopes of regression is similar regardless of the taxonomic group or the region.

Hey brainly user!
Here is your answer
Species richness :
Species richness is the number of species per unit area. The more the number in one area the more is the species richness
✔According to Alexander Van Humboldt species richness increases with increase explored area but only up to a limit on a logarithmic scale the relationship is a straight line
log S=log C+Z logA
where S=Species richness
A= Area
Z= Slope of the line
C= Y intercept
