Mowing Plants Plagioclimax Regular Grass Prevents Shrubs Trees

Examples of plagioclimax include regular mowing of grass or cutting off the growing points of woody plants, preventing shrubs and trees from developing and leading to lower diversity.

Exemple de plagioclimax includ cosirea regulată a ierbii sau tăierea vârfurilor plantelor lemnoase, împiedicând dezvoltarea arbuștilor și copacilor, ceea ce duce la o diversitate mai mică.
