What biome with nutrient poor soil is near the equator?
the tropical rainforest has nutrient poor and acidic soil because of rapid decompisition, an extreme chemical weathering/leaching because of the high amounts of rainfall. Hope this helps :)
Is the soil rich or poor in the amazonm rainforest?
there is rich soil in the amazon rainforest.
Which biome has poor soil?
Tropical Rainforest
What are the soil conditions in the tropical rainforet?
The soil in the tropical rainforest is poor and thin.
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
What biome thin nutrient-poor acidic soil?
The biome that has the most acidic soil is the temperate rainforests.
What biome with nutrient poor soil is near the equator?
the tropical rainforest has nutrient poor and acidic soil because of rapid decompisition, an extreme chemical weathering/leaching because of the high amounts of rainfall. Hope this helps :)
Is the soil rich or poor in the amazonm rainforest?
there is rich soil in the amazon rainforest.
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:
