Why does it rain after battle?
The answer is both meteorological and psychological.
Meteorological - Spring and Summer were typically the war seasons, and during those months, rain tends to come during the late afternoon and early evening hours.
Psychological - It's no more likely to rain on a day of battle than on any other day, it only feels more likely. For most people, battles are depressing. They involve immense amounts of death and destruction. Men have had to kill, they have watched their friends die, and they have come close to their own death. Similarly, rain is dark and depressing, so when these two phenomena converge, we notice it, contemplate it, and assign deep meaning to it. This may contribute to the emergence of human sacrifice. Ancient civilizations that relied mainly on rain to irrigate their crops tended to practice ritual human sacrifice, as well (e.g. Mesoamerican Indians, Druids, Phoenicians).
What does soil in a tropical rain forest compare to soil in other biomes?
in the tropical rainforest it tastes like chocolate but in the others it tastes like dirt.
Acid either destroy the plant tissue killing it directly or it may cause the pH of the soil to become to acidic reducing the uptake of nutrients and water that the plant requires.
Extremes in soil pH cancauseroot burn, if the roots cannot function properly the plant will die

How does tree cutting affect rainfall?
Trees create a micro climate above their canopy by the generation of water vapour expired from their leaves and the release of essential oils. These oil particles are the right size to trigger the formation of water droplets. This is why rain forests make rain and cloud forests make clouds. Sailors lost in the ocean would steer towards a lone cloud because below it would usually be a small island of refuge. Take the trees away and no cloud would form. We cut trees down at our peril but if we do we must plant 10 to 100 seedlings to mitigate the damage. The invention of the chainsaw allowed man to cut trees without effort and is probably the most destructive tool ever devised.

Does Switzerland have a Rainforest?
I do not think so - it looks like the only rainforest is at the Zurich zoo. Switzerland's four seasons do not really make for good (natural) rainforest development anyway.
The animals that live in a rainforest each have a "niche" which they are adapted too. Some eat fruit located high in the tree canopy, while others might eat from lower down, or even scavenging off the ground. Certain snakes eat smaller birds in the trees, while bigger snakes hunt larger animals on the ground. There is a little overlap within these "niches" but for the most part the competition is only within their own species. And in nature the smartest, fittest, and most adaptive are the ones to florish, ensuring the strongest survive. The old, weak, and sickly are "weeded-out" allowing the species to continue with the strongest gene pool and base to prosper. Hope this helps!
