because as organic material decays, it is recycled so fast that few nutrients ever actually reach the soil, leaving it almost sterile.

Possitive impacts humans have on the Daintree Rainforest?

Human Impacts on the DaintreeRainforestONCE RUINED, THERE IS NOT REALLY ANYWAY TO REBUILD A RAINFOREST.The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most pristine places on earth, and still there are many bad impacts to the rainforest. Most of these impacts are by humans.One of these human impacts is that many people want to destroy the rainforest for farms since the soil is very nutritious. But even if it was destroyed, the soil would only be good for a year or two because the nutrients in the soil are there from the rainforest plants. This is why it is so hard to rebuild a rainforest because many of the plants normally in a rainforest will no longer be able to root in the place where the rainforest formerly was. If there are no plants, there will be no animals either.Other Human threats include: Mining, which destroys the rainforest to get minerals from under it; Logging, obviously cutting down trees will greatly damage a rainforest; Tourism, there are hundreds of thousands of people who visit the rainforest each year, which means cars and busses in the rainforest disturbing animals and destroying habitats; and also Development, which covers everything from subdivision of land to building roads and fences which disturb and uproot rainforest habitats.

Is the Amazon Rainforest hot and wet all year long?

The Amazon Rainforest is hot and dry all year long? Yes, it normally is. The Amazon is a rainforest. Rainforests have a lot of rain. Rain is in the name, but it is very humid which causes evaporation to happen to the water. Then the water condenses which causes precipitation. Precipitation is rain, sleet, snow, or hail. If anyone tells you this is wrong say you got it from the smartest guy on Earth. Also before you ask this question you should always remember rain is in the name rainforest. So now to the hotness of the Amazon. It is normally hot outside. Most rainforest are in a tropical area. So it makes it hotter and wetter. Please take my answer seriously.
