Ecosystems, interdependence and field sampling

An ecologist recorded the mean light intensity and the mean number of clover plants per $m2\text{m}^2$ across six different 100 m² plots in a meadow.

Table 1

Plot	Mean light intensity (lux)	Mean number of clover plants per $m2\text{m}^2$
P	2200	5.4
Q	1800	4.1
R	1400	2.9
S	1000	1.8
T	600	0.7
U	200	0.1

Explain the effect of light intensity on the number of clover plants per $m2\text{m}^2$ .
