The relation between species richness and area is described on a logarithmic scale by the equation [where S = species richness, A = area, Z = slope of the line (regression coefficient ), C= Y - intercept]

A

log `S`= log `C` - `Z` log `B`

B

log `S` = `Z` log `A`

C

log `S` = log `C` + `Z` log `A`
