How might the biodiversity of a mowed lawn compare to that of huge weedy field?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: The mowed lawn is the one from where the grasses are removed by using the machines or tools.

Explanation:

The mowed lawn is expected to have low number of species as the grasses may be few or scanty thus can support the population of few species like insects, mice, birds, and small number of grazing animals. On the other hand the weedy field can be hub of insects, reptiles like snakes, small mammals, and large mammals. Large weed field can provide food, and habitat to the large number of species. This will support the increase in biodiversity as compared to the mowed lawn.
