alleryFor S = CA^Z, Z = 0.5. If area increases fourfold with C unchanged, how does species richness change?
AIt becomes four times as large
BIt becomes half as large
CIt becomes twice as large
DIt remains unchanged
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It becomes twice as large
S₂/S₁ = (A₂/A₁)^Z = 4^0.5 = 2. Species richness therefore doubles under the stated relationship.
