area (only upto a limit). Accordingly the relation between species richness and
area for a wide variety of taxa (birds, bat, angiosperms, aquatic fishes) turns

The relationship depicts a straight line
on alogaithimic scale described by the following equation
Where, 'S' stands for species
richness, 'A' is area and 'Z' and 'C' are slope of line
(regression coefficient) and y
intercept respectively.
