You would think that the rainforests soil was very fertile and rich due to the enormous amounts of plants growing there on their own. However, the rainforests soil is not rich or fertile at all. The torrential rain washes the nutrients and minerals away. So, instead of getting its minerals and nutrients from the soil, it gets them from fallen trees and rotting leaves. Therefore, if the rainforest is removed for farming it will not grow back without artificial fertilizers.
