(2) Because the lawn area is large, the water meter area increases, and evaporation is accelerated, which makes the grass wither easily;
(3) Sweep the fallen leaves back to their original roots to slow down the air flow and evaporation on the soil surface.
So the answer is: (1) specific heat capacity;
(2) fast;
(3) Slow down the air flow and evaporation on the soil surface.
