In the species-area relationship equation log S = log C + Z log A, what does the slope of the line (Z) typically represent when considered across large areas like entire continents?
- A.0.1 to 0.2
- B.0.6 to 1.2Correct answer
- C.2.0 to 5.0
- D.0.01 to 0.05
Solution
For smaller areas (like frugivorous birds in different regions), the slope (Z) is in the range of 0.1 to 0.2. However, for very large areas like entire continents, the slope is much steeper, ranging between 0.6 and 1.2.
