We can represent the relationship of species richness to area with the equation

Where S = number of species, and c and z are both constants

Which of the following is not a logical explanation to relationship of species richness to area?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. A high value of z indicates steep increases in species number as island size increases
  2. A low value of z indicates shallow increases in species number as island size increases
  3. One value of z indicates no relation in species number and island size
  4. Tropical islands have greater c values than temperate ones.
