Detailed explanation-1: -17 A small town in the piney woods of East Texas has a soccer field composed of native grasses. The soccer field is mowed once a week. What effect does continual mowing have on the ecology of the field? A Mowing increases the likelihood of nonnative species displacing native species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Road construction and expansion result in loss of wildlife habitat by transforming natural habitats to pavement, dirt tracks, and cleared roadsides or right-of-ways. Some wildlife are more vulnerable to habitat loss than others.
Detailed explanation-3: -How do an increase in the organic matter in soil and an increase in soil depth affect the population of plants in an area? A Larger plants become the dominant organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -If an organism is removed the food web will continue with no effect. Soccer fields are most often made of one single type of grass. What type of biodiversity do sports fields show? High “Rich” biodiversity because there is only one type of producer.
