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: -Species diversity is much greater in the ecosystem undergoing primary succession because the lack of soil provides a greater area for organisms to claim niches. Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species.
Detailed explanation-3: -A moraine is material left behind by a moving glacier. This material is usually soil and rock.
