NEETBotanyBiodiversity and its Conservation
Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. The slope (Z) of the species-area relationship is always 0.1 to 0.2. 2. The slope (Z) of the species-area relationship for large areas like entire continents can range from 0.6 to 1.2. 3. The species-area relationship always forms a straight line on a standard scale. 4. The slope (Z) of the species-area relationship does not vary by taxonomic group or
Options
- AOnly 1 is correct
- BAll are incorrect
- CBoth 2 and 3 are correct
- DOnly 2 is correct
Correct answer
D. Only 2 is correct
Step-by-step solution
But, if you analyse the species-area relationships among very large areas like the entire continents, you will find that the slope of the line to be much steeper (Z values in the range of 0.6 to 1.2)."
