as area, S = f(A). Previous work suggests that a power function is most
appropriate;
S = c A
b
For accumulative sampling curves where the S vs. A relationship
is developed by successively sampling larger or additional areas, the
coeffi cient c represents richness in the smallest areal unit, while the exponent
b indicates the rate of increase of soil types with area. For this type of curve
