Using model assemblages the dependence of the intercept of the power function and the exponential model of species-area relationships on slope and factor value were studied. It is shown that the quotient of intercept and total species number in the assemblage (A[unit]/S[a]) can be interpreted as a relation between local and regional diversity and linked with species-area relations. Two general relations are derived and tested combining both concepts: z=a/ln[area] [...] with z being the slope of the power function model, H the Shannon diversity, Beta, Beta[1] and Beta[2] constants, and a the constant of the relation between S[unit]/S[a] and z. It is concluded that with the above functions species-area relationships can be used to infer the relation between local and regional species numbers and to compute regional diversities.
