Internet research:
1) Organism :three-leaf-clover (trifolium)
2) disperses using pollination through abiotic factors like wind and biotic factors including bees
3) Found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere
5) 3
6) Clumping of organisms possible to outlast extreme stress. also the attraction to bumble bees as a food source helps the spread of the clover across distances.
Observation:
1)Multiple population
2) Mating Members are in close proximity (next to each other)
3)the population is clumped
4) the plant can grow in any place that it feels comfortable, the min driving force that is involved in the positioning of the clover has to do with the competition with other plant species and the amount of pollination to occur.
5)Source
6) The offsprings are dispersed through wind, but mostly the offspring are found right next to the parent plant. Sometimes of course biotic factors can play a role in moving the offspring a far distance
7) Immigrants come from other species' clumps of clovers. Either through wind or biotic factors factors
From Brain and Calculator:
r = ln(R)/T
r = ln (3)/1 = 1.09
in 5 cycles: 5.48
in 20 cycles: 21.89
The organism is not showing these signs of dispersa. There are constant other factors from the outside world working on the process fo reproduction in clovers. Yes the plant is dominating the area. But in some areas the clover cannot reproduce due to other species. And biotic factors such as bee's play a huge role t the speed of reproduction of clovers. with the decline of these factors we can see a decline in reprouction.
From Literature:
Two models that resmeble our species of the clovers are that of humans and of a lichin species called Parmelia Sulcata
Lichin Species:
Very tolerant to stress like our clover the Lichin can be found almost anywhere in the world
Article: "Distribution in Portugal of some polluytants in the Lichin Parmelia Sulcata"
URL : www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749199000718
The study conducted shows that the dispersal of the lichin population is governed by the toxic pollutants that can kill it. Maybe the clovers are exhibiting the same kind of effect with the surrounding species that take up substances the clovers need.
Human Species:
Spread throughout entire world, except for very high stress and highly disturbed areas. Humans, like the clover, are permitted by nature to grow without limit
Article: "Human population an the GLobal Environment: Population Growth, rising per capita material consumption, and disruptive technologies, have made civilization a global force.

The human organism can populate and grow without limit and is governed by very little in its own choice of where to live on earth. Some factors could be that it is just to hostile of a place that it doesnt allow the time to properly anchor oneself to the earth itself.
QUESTION:
What factors contribute to the abundance of the trifolium clover and allow it to cover the entire site?
