Why is it necessary to incorporate forest soil along with a tree when it is transplanted to a treeless area?
It is necessary to incorporate forest soil along with a forest tree because a forest tree is already adapted to the forest soil. This soil is rich with nutrients which a tree really needs. These nutrients are needed by the forest tree in order to survive regardless of the change in location.
Do trees affect soil?

Aside from absorbing water and nutrients what other functions do the roots serve?
Besides absorbing nutrients and water, roots anchor the plant in the ground. This is especially important for large trees, but is needed by all plants. In addition, roots help to hold the soil in place, which prevents erosion. This is one reason forests should not be clear-cut and slopes need to have plants on them instead of being left bare.
