The relation between species richness and area for a wide variety of taxa turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola. Give a brief explanation.

Explanation

According to AV Humboldt, a German scientist within, a region, species richness increased with icreasing explored 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 out to be a rectangular hyperbola.
The relationship depicts a straight line on a logaithimic scale described by the following equation
`logS=logC+ZlogA`
Where 'S' stands for species richness, 'A' is area and 'Z' and 'C' are slope of line (regression coefficient) and y intercept respectively.
