Abstract The species-area relationship (SAR) is widely applied in ecology. Mathematically, it is usually expressed as either a semi-log or power-law relationship, with the former being introduced by Gleason and the latter by Arrhenius. We here resolve the dispute about which form of the SAR to prefer by introducing a novel model that smoothly transforms between the Gleason semi-log (GSL) and Arrhenius power law (APL) forms. The model introduced has the form of ln q ( S ) = a + z ln A , with ln q being a generalized logarithmic function, which is a linear map ( y = x ) for q = 0 and a logarithmic map ( y = ln x ) for q = 1 and q can take any intermediate value between 0 and 1. We applied this model to 100 datasets (mostly islands), linking species richness to island area. The APL was the preferred model in 68% of head-to-head comparisons with the GSL. Both models were supported in 40% of cases. In just under half (44%) of the cases, an intermediate model best explained the data. The results demonstrate the utility of a simple intermediate SAR model. Visualizing the profile of the range of model fits for all q ∈ [0 , 1] (a q chart) allows us to gain extra insight into SARs not yielded by head-to-head comparisons of GSL and APL. The mathematics related to the generalized logarithmic function introduced here should have applications to other areas of ecological modelling.
物种-面积关系(SAR)在生态学中有着广泛的应用。数学上，它通常表示为半对数或幂律关系，前者由格里森引入，后者由阿伦尼乌斯引入。我们在此通过引入一个在格里森半对数(GSL)和阿伦尼乌斯幂定律(APL)形式之间平滑转换的新模型来解决关于SAR形式的争论。引入的模型具有ln q (S) = a + z ln a的形式，其中ln q是一个广义对数函数，对于q = 0是一个线性映射(y = x)，对于q = 1是一个对数映射(y = ln x)， q可以取0到1之间的任意中间值。我们将该模型应用于100个数据集(主要是岛屿)，将物种丰富度与岛屿面积联系起来。与GSL相比，APL是68%的首选模型。这两种模型在40%的案例中都得到了支持。在不到一半(44%)的案例中，中间模型最能解释数据。结果表明了一个简单的中间SAR模型的实用性。可视化所有q∈[0,1](q图)的模型拟合范围的轮廓，使我们能够获得额外的洞察力，而不是通过GSL和APL的直接比较产生的SARs。这里介绍的与广义对数函数相关的数学应该可以应用于生态建模的其他领域。

This study critically examines the health-environment discourse and uses infant and under-5 mortality rates, carbon emissions, and non-renewable energy to investigate the inherent associations. We argue that the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions is considered to increase and can undermine the access to basic resources necessary for leading a healthy life, such as access to food, water, health, and the environment. Environmental health is closely linked to human health. The world is witnessing a substantial increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which pose a significant threat to both environment and human health. Hence, this study contributes to the discourse with unbalanced panel data on 46 European countries from 2005 to 2015 to investigate the impact of carbon emissions and non-renewable energy on infant and under-5 mortality rates. Consistent findings from static and dynamic analyses reveal that (1) carbon emission is positively associated with mortality rate; (2) non-renewable energy shows a significant negative relationship; (3) persistency in mortality rates exists; (4) positive (negative) association of emissions (non-renewable energy) dwindles (increases) in absolute value at higher distributions of mortality rates; and (5) Euro Union countries show lower mortality rates relative to non-Euro Union members. Policy recommendations are discussed.
