log S = log C + Z log A 
where Z is:

Extinction is a natural phenomenon. It is estimated that 99% of all species that ever lived are now extinct. Why then do we say that we are now experiencing an extinction (loss of biodiversity) crisis?
1. Humans are ethically responsible for protecting endangered species.
2. Scientists have finally identified most of the species on Earth and are thcurreus able to quantify the number of species becoming extinct.
3. The current rate of extinction is high and human activities threaten biodiversity at all levels.
4. Humans have greater medical needs than at any other time in history, and many potential medicinal compounds are being lost as plant species become extinct.

The most serious consequence of a decrease in global biodiversity would be the
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
