SpeciesArea Curves Many studies have shown that the number of species on an island increases with the area of the island. Frequently, the functional relationship between the number of species (S) and the area (A) is approximated by S = CAz , where z is a constant that depends on the particular species and habitat in the study. (Actual values of z range from about 0.2 to 0.35.) Suppose that the best fit to your data points on a log-log scale is a straight line. Is your model S = CAz an appropriate description of your data? If yes, how would you find z?
