Suppose you wanted to determine whether you had adequately sampled the species richness of a given community. Which result would lead most strongly to the conclusion that the current sampling had adequately assessed the species diversity?

species accumulation  curve flattens out

Explanation:

The number of species in a graph plotted that is living in a specific area. This is is then plotted in a graph that is referred to as the species accumulation curve. This kind of data is collected by physically going out to look for the different organisms in a determined area. It is calculated by plotting the mean of the animals (along with their standard deviation). This type of data is important for comparing populations in areas and the number of species as well.

Flattening of the curve means that the number of cumulative species has reached it'd peak and had plateaued.

Species accumulation curve that had leveled off

Explanation:

Species accumulation curves show the rate at which new species are found within a community and can be extrapolated to provide an estimate of species richness.

The order in which samples are included in a species accumulation curve will influence the overall shape. A smooth accumulation curve can be produced by repeating a process of randomly adding the samples to the accumulation curve and then plotting the mean of these permutations.
