Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

The slope of regression in species-area relationship predicts species richness of an area. It indicates the dependency of species richness on the area as higher slope reflects higher dependency of the area. Taking into account of a large area, such as country, the slope is almost linear with the area. For a smaller area, lower slope value indicates independence of species richness over the area.
