How does a yard replenish mass when grass is constantly being cut and discarded?

It helps it you have some ashes to spread on random spots on the lawn before a rain, it’s good for the plants.
Plants build mass from the carbon dioxide in the air and water. Sugars are hydrocarbon molecules made with hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. The sunlight creates the reaction in pants to take the carbon/oxygen from carbon dioxide and the hydrogen/oxygen from water and turns it into plant energy and leftover oxygen.
Most of the mass of a plant does not come from the soil. If you look at the composition of a plant, it is mostly cellulose and water. The water comes from well, rainwater. The cellulose is made from sugars which are produced by photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon dioxide are combined to produce sugar and oxygen, using energy from sunlight.
Ignoring pure water content and broken down by weight, roughly 95% of a plant’s mass is contributed by the elements oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. These are all sourced from groundwater or directly from the air. Plants only take a tiny fraction of their mass from the soil, consisting of trace nutrients like potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, etc.

Think of your yard as one entity of grasses too, all 9f that connection beneath the surface

Lots of microbes in the soil can flourish since people don’t till their lawns. The microbes can grab all the other nutrients out of the air for the plants who give the microbes a place to live. Just like a forest, needs no fertilizer
