the rapid decay of plants and animals returns nutrients to the soil.But these nutrients are quickly absorbed and used by the plants.The nutrients that are not immediatly used by the plants are washed away by the heavy rains. The soil is left thin and nutrient poor.
Removing the forest vegetation increases soil erosion. That soil is washed out into waterways when it rains, increasing the particulate matter in waterways.
Six Rivers National Forest was created in 1947.
The area of Six Rivers National Forest is 3,875.229 square kilometers.
The area of Twin Rivers State Forest is 60.225 square kilometers.
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.
The headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were in mountainous territory. The rivers washed silt down the rivers and fertile land acumulated in the river basins, replenished each year by the soul washed down the rivers by the rains in the northern mountains.
Erosion
Yes, it will help nutrients get to the plant in the short term, but when it rains, the nutrients will be washed away.
it is made up of nutrients.
