Overgrowth is a condition where plants, particularly weeds, grow excessively in a specific area, often outcompeting other vegetation. This can occur in gardens, lawns, or natural landscapes, leading to reduced biodiversity and potential harm to native species. Overgrowth can be caused by factors such as nutrient-rich soil, lack of maintenance, or favorable weather conditions. In ecosystems, overgrowth can disrupt the balance of plant and animal life. For example, invasive species may thrive and dominate, leading to a decline in native plants and the animals that depend on them. Managing overgrowth often requires regular maintenance, such as pruning, mowing, or herbicide application to restore ecological balance.
