What is likely to happen to a lawn's dandelion population?

The dandelion population in a lawn is likely to increase if the conditions are favorable, such as adequate sunlight, moisture, and minimal competition from other plants. If the lawn is not properly maintained, with infrequent mowing or lack of herbicide use, dandelions can thrive and spread their seeds. Conversely, consistent mowing, proper lawn care, and the use of weed control measures can help reduce their numbers significantly. Ultimately, the dandelion population will fluctuate based on the management practices employed and environmental factors.
