Nodulation of Volunteer White Clover and Burr Medic Rooted in the Pavement Joints of a Sealed Car Park
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement excavates every volunteer clover and medic rooted in the joints of a single sealed car park and finds that clover nodulation fell steadily with flow-path distance from the lone garden bed, while the medics showed no gradient. The authors conclude that the symbiosis was decided less by the joint than by what the stormwater had carried to it.
