-Based on the species-area plot in the accompanying figure, if habitable area on an island were reduced from 10,000 km2 (square kilometers) to 1000 km2, roughly what percentage of the species would disappear?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The species-area relationship suggests that a reduction in area leads to a loss in species. A tenfold decrease in area (from 10,000 km2 to 1,000 km2) typically results in a significant loss of species, often around 30%, according to the species-area curve.
