The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Scientist and Context**: The question asks about Alexander von Humboldt and what he described for the first time. Humboldt was a prominent figure in the field of ecology and geography. 2. **Review the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Ecological biodiversity - B) Laws of limiting factors - C) Species-area relationship - D) Population growth equation 3. **Recall Humboldt's Contributions**: Alexander von Humboldt is known for his extensive studies in ecology and biogeography. One of his significant contributions is the concept of the species-area relationship. 4. **Define the Species-Area Relationship**: The species-area relationship describes how the number of species increases with the area sampled. As the area increases, the number of species tends to increase, but this increase occurs up to a certain limit. 5. **Mathematical Representation**: Humboldt explained this relationship using a mathematical formula: \[ S = C \cdot A^Z \] where: - \( S \) = species richness - \( C \) = constant - \( A \) = area - \( Z \) = regression constant 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the contributions of Alexander von Humboldt, the correct answer to the question is **C) Species-area relationship**. ---
