About this document
Nutrient Cycling in Tropical Rainforests by YENNITA JAMES BF21110144 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses nutrient cycling in tropical rainforest ecosystems. It notes that tropical forest soils are often old and low in nutrients due to lack of volcanic activity. The main nutrient reservoir in many tropical forests is the plants themselves rather than the soil. Nutrient cycling involves inputs from rainfall, weathering, and nitrogen fixation, as well as fluxes between vegetation, litter, and soil stores. Logging and land clearing can cause large losses of nutrients through biomass removal
