APFIVE Species Area Relationship Model
Given that species richness can be modeled as $$S = k \times \ln(\text{Area})$$ and a continuous forest of 200 km² supports 100 species, estimate the species richness in a 80 km² patch.
| Area (km²) | Species Richness |
|---|---|
| 200 | 100 |
| 80 | ? |
A
Approximately 57 species
B
Approximately 120 species
C
Approximately 100 species
D
Approximately 83 species
