Q. No.Global species diversity and land area covered by India with respect to world is:
(1) 12%, 7%
(2) 2.4%, 9%
(3) 8.1%, 2.4%
(4) 4%, 3%
The great German naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt observed that within a region species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit. In fact, relation between species richness and area for a wide variety of taxa (angiosperm plants, birds, bats, freshwater fishes) turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola. Now find out correct equations shown in the graph:
(a) I - S = CAZ; II - Log S = log C + Z log A
(b) I - Log S = log C + Z log A; II - S = CAZ
(c) I - S = CAZ + log C; II - Log S = log C + Z log A
(d) I - S = CAZ + log A; II - Log S = log C + Z log A
