What are slash and burn cultivation and shifting cultivation?

Slash and burn cultivation is where you cut down the vegetation, burn it, and then plow it into the ground. This typically gets used where most of the nutrients are tied up in the existing vegetation and the soil is nutrient poor - such as in rainforests.

Shifting cultivation is a form of agriculture, used especially in tropical Africa, in which an area of ground is cleared of vegetation and cultivated for a few years and then abandoned for a new area until its fertility has been naturally restored.

The two are clearly related, but in the case of slash and burn, the land is farmed until the nutrients are depleted. Also in slash and burn, the ground is usually extremely nutrient poor until the vegetation is burned and plowed into the ground. Slash and burn is a typical method used in shifting cultivation but not all shifting cultivation uses slash and burn.

Because the different organisms need to compete for different resources. For example, if all the trees were at the same level, then no light would be able to get to the forest floor. If there are 4 layers, however, then the light can filter through the trees. This allows different organisms to have the right amount of each resource rather than them having to adapt to the different levels of sunlight, rainfall etc.
