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 a limit. In fact, relation between species richness and area for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm plants, birds, bats, reshwater fishes) turns out to be rectangular hyperbola. Now find out correct equations shown in the graph.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Alexander von Humboldt described the species–area relationship:
On a normal scale, the relationship is:
S = CA z (rectangular hyperbola)
On a log scale, it becomes a straight line:
log S = log C + Z log A
