1. Temperate forests in the Midwest of the USA
2. Forests in Greenland at 71° N
3. Grasslands in New York at 41° N
4. The Amazonian rainforest in South America
What is/are the correct explanation(s) for the species richness of the tropics?
1. Tropics had less evolutionary time for species diversification.
2. Tropics provide a relatively constant environment.
3. Tropics receive more solar energy which contributes to greater productivity.
4. Both 2. and 3. are correct.
With respect to biodiversity in India, examine the following statements and select the correct option.
1. In terms of species diversity, India's share is 8.1%
2. India is one of the 12 mega-diversity countries
3. There are three biodiversity hotspots in India
4. All of these
On a logarithmic scale, the species-area relationship is a straight line described by the equation
Which symbol represents regression coefficient?
1. S
2. C
3. Z
4. A
| 1. | Species diversity increases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. |
| 2. | Species diversity is evenly distributed throughout the world. |
| 3. | Species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. |
| 4. | Species diversity remains constant across all latitudes. |
| 1. | Increases indefinitely with increasing explored area. |
| 2. | Decreases with increasing explored area. |
| 3. | Increases with increasing explored area, but only up to a certain limit. |
| 4. | Remains unaffected by the size of the explored area. |
Straight line relation of species area curve can be expressed as
1. log S = log C + Z log A
2. log C = log Z + S log A
3. C = ASz
4. S = CAz
