alleryFor species-area relationships across entire continents, the slope value lies in which range?
AZero point six to one point nine
BZero point two to one point one
CZero point six to one point two
DZero point one to one point two
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Zero point six to one point two
1. The species-area relationship has a slope known as Z.
2. Over very large areas that slope becomes much steeper.
3. For entire continents the Z values lie in the range of 0.6 to 1.2.
4. So the answer is 0.6 to 1.2.
