Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You observe a garden in a schoolyard. Corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, and other crops thrive in the garden. What is most likely true of the soil in this microhabitat? It is deep, dark, and nutrient rich.

Detailed explanation-2: -The habitat contains all an animal needs to survive such as food and shelter. A microhabitat is a small area which differs somehow from the surrounding habitat. Its unique conditions may be home to unique species that may not be found in the larger region.

Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary succession is the ecological succession that occurs after the initial succession has been disrupted and some plants and animals still exist. It is usually faster than primary succession as soil is already present, and seeds, roots, and the underground vegetative organs of plants may still survive in the soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ecological succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. It is a process by which an ecological community undergoes more or less orderly and predictable changes following a disturbance or the initial colonization of a new habitat.

Detailed explanation-5: -What factor contributes most to the sustainability of a habitat? climate.
