Typically, because the heavy nutrient cycling of tropical rain forests are so high, the top soil in these forests is very shallow- perhaps less than a meter. Once the forest is gone and the soil is used for farmland, it will never come back..... then the sun will beat down and further add to the stress of the land------ desert baby yeah.........
What else can I help you with?
Give one reason why conversion of trophical forests into farmland has gererally been unsuccessful?
One reason is that tropical forests have nutrient-poor soil, which requires intensive and costly fertilization to support agricultural production. Additionally, tropical forests have complex ecosystems that are difficult to replicate in agriculture, leading to higher risks of pest outbreaks and soil degradation.
Why the soil of tropical rain forests make poor farmland?

The is found in tropical rain forests and usually has poor vision or is blind?
caecilian
The what is found in tropical rain forests and usually has poor vision or is blind?
caecilian
Did the Nile Delta have the largest area of poor farmland?
Yes but it was rich farmland.
Following deforestation of tropical forests the remaining soil is nutrient poor because?
most nutrients have been absorbed by the vegetation.
What is the soil type of Tropical Monsoon Forests?
The soil type of Tropical Monsoon Forests is typically laterite soil, which is rich in iron and aluminum oxides, making it nutrient-poor and acidic. These soils are formed through intense weathering due to the heavy rainfall in these regions.
What technique often results in poor farmland?
Slash and burn
Why is the remaining soil nutrient-poor following deforestation of tropical forests?
Because most of the nutrients were absorbed by the vegetation that was removed (trees or other plants), and so cannot be returned to the soil.
What is The rapid rate of a process in tropical forests resulting in low nutrient soil?
The rapid rate of decomposition in tropical forests leads to the quick breakdown of organic matter, which results in low nutrient soil. The warm and humid conditions in tropical forests facilitate the activity of decomposers such as bacteria and fungi, accelerating the recycling of nutrients back into the ecosystem. As a result, the soil in tropical forests tends to be nutrient-poor despite the high biological productivity.
What soils found in found in the tropical evergreen forests?
Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.
Why is Pakistan poor in forests?
Lack of education to the poor people that trees are sustainable
