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: -D Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species. As ecosystems move through the stages of succession, the populations of organisms in them change.
Detailed explanation-3: -dendrobatidis. What will be the most likely impact of the decline in frog populations resulting from the fungal infection? A New species of frogs that feed on both the fungus and the infected species of frogs will evolve.
Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. In short, changes to soil content increases nutrients available which in turn spawns the growth of new foliage which increases diversity.
