This would appear to be an indication of lack of water and not too much sun.
- taeric 2y agoI'm fine saying it is complicated. So, Maybe? I have grass right next to some that does not die due to the sun exposure. But it is shaded for large portions of the day, there. All of that is to say, I don't think you can or should reduce this down to only sun exposure. There is more going on.
- tossandthrow 2y agoI absolutely agree on your premise - that sun, like most things, is about moderation. I was just pondering on the example you gave: Is there a case where grass will die out from sun when that is the isolated factor? I would assume that there is, but I am not sure it is given.
- taeric 2y agoTotally fair and I don't know. My yard actually has a sprinkler system, such that I don't think I'm flat out not watering it in the sunny time of the year. You can definitely see where the sun hits the yard for longer, though.
- AlexandrB 2y agoGrass is a terrible analogy here. Try putting a moth orchid or many ferns in direct mid-day sun and they'll quickly die no matter how much water is available.
