On a logarithmic scale the relationship between species richness and area covered is

Step-by-step solution

It Observed that within a region species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit. In fact, the relation between species richness and area for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm plants, birds, bats, freshwater fishes) turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola . On a logarithmic scale, the relationship is a straight line described by the equation
