Question

Dear expert,
" Value of Z is found to lie in the range
of 0 1 to 0 2 for comparatively smaller areas such as countries
while for very large areas such as entire
continents, the slope of the line is much steeper with Z value
lying from 0 6 to 1 2 "
What do steeper slopes of regression mean?

Mushtaq Ahmed · Accepted Answer

This means that for every increase in
an area analyzed for biodiversity of species, the species richness
increases and the graph becomes more steeper (that is, making
greater angle with the area axis almost becomes perpendicular) In
otherwords a steeper slope of the regression line (Z) means that
there is steep increase in a population of that particular species
as on increasing the area of evaluation
