Question

Imagine you have a raised garden
bed filled with soil that no one
monitored for a year. What would
you expect it to look like the
following year? How about 5
years? What about 100 years?

Answer 1

At first it will be filled with weeds and insects. In about 5 years, a wider variety of plants will be growing there and larger animals will live there. They are there because of the food and shelter. Then in 100 years, there would be more soil (because of decomposing dead organisms). WIth more soil, bigger plants could grow and larger animals could live.
