Solution

There is no such habitat and such a situation is not realistic. For any species, the minimal requirement is one more species on Which it can feed. Even a plant species, which makes its own food, cannot survive alone; it needs soil microbes to break down the organic matter in soil and return the inorganic nutrients for absorption. Moreover, plant cannot manage pollination without an animal agent.
