Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tropical rain forests have a high level of biodiversity but the soils are infertile and dominated by Oxisols. The vegetation has adapted root systems that capture nutrients from litter decay to survive. Midlatitude grasslands have fertile, deep soils due to the presence of grasses while Boreal and montane forests have acidic soils that are low in nutrients. Temperate rain forests have nutrient-rich, deep soils due to high levels of rainfall.
