19 de oct. de 2023 · Learn about rainforests, their structure, biodiversity, and importance for our planet. Find out how rainforests are affected by human activities and how to protect them.
12 de jul. de 2013 · The soil is highly acidic. The roots of plants rely on an acidity difference between the roots and the soil in order to absorb nutrients. When the soil is acidic, there is little difference, and therefore little absorption of nutrients from the soil.
Learn about the climate, biodiversity, and soil composition of tropical rainforests, one of Earth's most diverse and iconic ecosystems. Find out how rainfall, temperature, and nutrient-poor soil affect the plants and animals that live there.
20 de oct. de 2021 · Tropical soils are not very fertile, despite the rich diversity of plant life that grows in them. They are acidic and nutrient-poor due to mineral erosion from excessive rainfall. Learn how tropical forests adapt to poor soils and why they are important to conserve.
Learn how nutrients are stored, recycled and leached in the tropical rainforest biome. The soil is thin, poor and red due to the high iron content and the heavy rainfall.
19 de oct. de 2023 · Tropical rainforests are centers of biodiversity, holding an estimated half the world’s plants and animals, many of which have yet to be catalogued (some scientists estimate that it’s two-thirds of the world's plants). Rainforests produce, store, and filter water, protecting against soil erosion, floods, and drought.
