Question

with explanation please

Larger patches of habitat contain more species than smaller patches of habitat. Why? Larger areas are generally safer Smaller areas require more resources to sustain Smaller areas are generally unsafe Large areas contain more niches that can support higher number of species

Answer 1

Answer is Option D.

Area increases diversity because a larger area is mor likely to have more habitats hence niches to support a great variety of species. I addition many species require large area adequate prey or seed forage.

The species area curve suggest that a larger plot contains more species than a smaller one.

S = cAz

S- number of species

c- constant measuring number of units per unit area.

A- area of the islans

z- constant measuring slope of the line relating to S and A.
