Please select all of the answers that are reasonable interpretations of this figure looking at the mortality of seedling vs the mass of seeds for different species. A. The chestnut blight caused chestnuts to make heavier seeds than any other species B. The proportion of seedlings that survive is better in trees with large seed mass C. There a appears to be a tradeoff. Species that invest a lot of resources into an individual seeds produce fewer seeds that survive well. Species that invest resources in and produce a larger number of lighter seeds produce seedlings with greater probably of dying D. It appears that early-mid successional trees invest more heavily in the number of seeds than the size of seeds E. The proportional survival of tree seedlings is higher in less heavy seeds F. It appears that late successional shade tolerant trees invest more heavily in the number of seeds than the size of seeds
