Species Area relationship is described by the following equation.
log S = log C + Z log A
where Z is:
| 1. | Area | 2. | Species richness |
| 3. | Slope of the line | 4. | Y-intercept |
Endemism refers to:
1. Species richness
2. Species evenness
3. Species confined to that region
4. Species diversity
| 1. | increase in global warming and thinning of the ozone layer |
| 2. | potential loss of ecosystem services on which people depend |
| 3. | increase in the abundance and diversity of edge-adapted species |
| 4. | loss of source of genetic diversity to preserve endangered species |
