Herbosity

/hɜːrˈbɑːsɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being herbose; the abundance or prevalence of herbs in a particular area or ecosystem.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Herbosity levels in soil can actually indicate soil health and biodiversity—areas with high herbosity are usually thriving ecosystems, while monoculture farms have almost zero herbosity!
