प्रश्न
Study the graph given below:
As per Alexander von Humboldt, what do the symbols S, A, Z and C in the graph stand for, in respect of a species and area relationship?

उत्तर
On a logarithmic scale, the relationship is a straight line described by the equation,
log S = log C + Z log A
where,
S = Species richness
A = Area
Z = slope of the line (regression coefficient)
C = Y-intercept

The following graph shows the species-area relationship. Answer the following questions as directed.
(a) Name the naturalist who studied the kind of relationship shown in the graph. Write the observations made by him.
(b) Write the situations as discovered by the ecologists when the value of ‘Z’
(Slope of the line) lies between:
- 0.1 and 0.2
- 0.6 and 1.2
What does ‘Z’ stand for?
(c) When would the slope of the line ‘b’ become steeper?
