On a logarithmic scale, the species-area relationship becomes a straight line described by the equation:

Answer: log S = log C + z log A.

  • A log S = log C + z log A
  • B log A = log C + z log S
  • C log C = log S + z log A
  • D log S = log A - z log C

Correct answer: A. log S = log C + z log A

Explanation: Taking logarithms of S = CA<sup>z</sup> gives log S = log C + z log A, a straight line whose slope is the regression coefficient z.
