The first graph is correlating the relative width of annual rings to a number of cones per tree. The relative width of annual rings is a measure of the age of the plants, while the cone count is a measure of the offsprings. As can be seen, there seems to be a significant negative correlation between the growth and the offsprings. However, most of the plants have a very high growth rate as can be seen by a large bunch of data points localized to a specific section.
In the case of animals too the growth appears to be negatively correlated with the offspring count. However, the correlation is extremely weak with a huge variability at each data point. Additionally, there is variability in the growth.
Using the two figures what can you conclude about the offspring and growth pattern in plants...
