14.Alexander Von Humboldt described for the first time: A. Laws of limiting factors B. Species- Area relationships C. Population Growth equation D. Ecological Biodiversity
Option B. Alexander Von Humboldt observed the species-area relationship. He observed that when the area explored increases, the species richness increases but to a certain limit. That is represented by the rectangular hyperbola which represents the equation S = CAZ where S is the species richness, A is the area, C is a constant and Z is the regression constant. The straight line represents the logarithmic form of the same equation which is log S = log C + Z log A.
