What biome thin nutrient-poor acidic soil?
The biome that has the most acidic soil is the temperate rainforests.
What is the deficient nutrient that causes keratomalacia?
Vitamin A
Why is rainforest soil nutrient poor?
Heavy rain washed off the nutrients from the rainforest's soil.
Any condition caused by excess or deficient food energy or nutrient intake or by an imbalance of nutrients?
malnutrition
Compare temperate ocean and tropical oceans?
Tropical waters, while beautiful, have high light levels and are nutrient poor. The murkier temperate oceans are nutrient dense and have low light levels allowing for abundant plankton and algae formation.
Why is the nutrient cycle important in the rainforest?
as you might already know, rainforest soil lacks in nutrients due to the constant rain washing it away (leaching). one might ask, then how does the rainforest have these lush green plants if it has poor soil? the answer is the rainforest nutrient cycle. the rainforest nutrient cycle is when decaying matter or in other words dead wood and leaf litter fall from the trees and their nutrients are very quickly broken down. they are returned to the system and are then taken in by living plants. the nutrient cycle is basically the answer to why these rainforests have such beautiful, lush, green plants. for more information, see related link:
Which is better suited for agricultural development Soil of a tropical rain forest or soil of a temperate deciduous forest?
The soil of a temperate deciduous forest would be best for agriculture as it is nutrient rich from decaying litter (compost). Tropical soil tends to be acidic and nutrient poor
What is the soil like in temperate forest and grassland?
nutrient poor soils
Why insectivorous plants grow on mineral deficient soil?
Insectivorous plants (flycatcher, sundew and slug catcher, to name only three) can grow in nutrient (mineral) deficient soils because they can catch insects and absorb the insect's nutrients.
What is the habitat of the Spotted Coral Root Orchid?
Steam banks and woodlands are the habitat of the Spotted Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid favors the nutrient rich soils of woodlands. It also likes the filtered light and shade that such an environment offers. But it also may be found along the moisture and nutrient rich soils of stream banks.
What is the habitat of the Large Coral Root Orchid?
Steam banks and woodlands are the habitat of the Large Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid fluorishes in the nutrient rich soils of woodlands. It especially likes the filtered light and shade that such an environment offers. But it also may be found in the moisture and nutrient rich soils along stream banks.
How can compost and plant soil be compared?
Air, moisture and nutrient content are ways to compare compost and soil. Soil can be nutrient- and water-deficient in the case of sand and nutrient- and water-retentive in terms of clay and loam. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost may be added to correct air, moisture and nutrient deficiencies or excesses through amending, fertilizing or mulching actions.
