Vedclass · Answer

(D) The species-area relationship is given by the equation $\log S = \log C + Z \log A$. From the graph,the slope $(Z)$ is $1.15$ (as indicated by the value $S=1.15$ in the provided image). For an area of $100,000\, km^2$,the number of species $(S_1)$ is approximately $70$. For an area of $1\, km^2$,the number of species $(S_2)$ is approximately $5$. The number of species lost is $S_1 - S_2 = 70 - 5 = 65$. The percentage of species lost is $(65 / 70) 	imes 100 \approx 92.8\%$,which is approximately $93\%$. Therefore,$93\%$ of the bird species will be lost.
