The tropical seasonal forest has more nutrient-rich soil compared to the tropical rainforest. The tropical rainforest's dense canopy and high biodiversity mean nutrients are quickly recycled and used by plants, leaving the soil relatively poor. Conversely, the seasonal nature of the tropical seasonal forest allows for a build-up of nutrients in the soil, making it richer. Additionally, the tropical rainforest has a higher incidence of insects, parasites, and fungal diseases due to its warm, moist environment, which is conducive to their growth.
