According to Species-Area relationship-

1. Within a region, species richness  increased with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit

2. Within a region, species evenness increased with an increasing explored area without limit

3. Within a region, species diversity increases with increasing area.

4. Both (1) and (2)

On a logarithmic scale, the relationship of species richness and area is a straight line described by the equation

1. logS= logC+logZ

2. logS= logZ+logA

3. logS= logC+ZlogA

4. logS= logZ+ClogA
