Question

gardening, whether it involves flowers or food, is a popular activity. yet many gardeners are unfamiliar with the virtues of plants classified as native, or indigenous to the region where they are grown. native plants usually succeed without chemical intervention. they are already accustomed to the soil and the seasons. but microclimates create complications, even for native plants. a microclimate is a small environment thats very different from the one around it. a cleared area, for example, might have a much higher average temperature than a forested lot across the street. drainage differences might create a tiny swamp. even a single tree can create a microclimate. its own fallen, decaying leaves might change the soil makeup.

microclimates contrast with the ______ climate.

a. advanced
