How do the trees and plants grow in the rainforest despite the lack of nutrients in the soil?
Despite all of its abundant richness, Amazonia's giant treesgrow in the poorest of soil. Seriously. The top two inches of the acidic soil contains 99% of the nutrients. Only the top two. Nine tenths of the forest's energy is stored in the leaves and tissues of the trees themselves. The forest floor is a porous mass that prevents minerals and nutrients from being washed away and lost.
