From an area of 7 million of square kilometers (2.7 million of square miles) about 45% is dusky, 30% is clay an 25% is water.
Soil is very poor in nutrients. Major component of forest's exuberance is from a tiny organic coverage from the forest itself made of decomposition of vegetation, all sort of dead animals and their excrements.

What biome has the worst soil?
The rainforest has very poor soil because most of the nutrients in the rainforests are not in the soil, but in the plants themselves. This is why you cannot regrow a rainforest once it is cut down. Without the plants, it's impossible to regrow anything in the rainforest's soil. Desert soil is also very poor in organic matter and has very poor water holding capacity, just like the rainforest. I'm not sure which of these is the correct answer to this question
