A species-area curve is drawn by plotting the number of species against the area. How is it that when a very large area is considered the slope is steeper than that for smaller areas
In very large areas, the various number of species are found much more than that is why the curve is much steeper. This happens because the large area has more food availability and other resources. Thus, more species may thrive.
In the graph of species area relationship, the value of z lies between 0.1 to 0.2 in any case of the taxonomic group or the region. If the analysis of species- area relationship is done among large areas like continents etc. then the slope of line would be much steeper (here the value of z ranges from 0.6 to 1.2).
