Why Is Rain Forest Soil So Poor? ... Also, the trees in tropical rain forests are often evergreens and so very few leaves actually fall to the ground. Destroying Nutrients In The Soil.

A team co-led by a Purdue University researcher has found that groups of fungi influence global tree species in distinct ways ...

Fires and logging changes forest soil structure for at least 30-80+ years, affecting everything from regrowth to carbon storage. ... we know very little about what’s happening beneath the ground.

Forests, for their part, store roughly 40% of the Earth's soil carbon. Because of that, there have been many research projects studying how climate change affects the carbon flux from forest soils.

American forests are important sources of carbon sequestration, storing millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. However, a unique experiment led by Peter Reich, University of Michigan professor ...

One reason the rain forest soil is so poor is that most of the nutrients are stored in the plants themselves. In any forest, dead organic matter falls to the ground, providing valuable nutrients ...
