what kind of soil does the rainforest have
The soil in the tropical rain forest is very nutrient poor. It's poor because the topsoil is only one to two inches thick and the soil beneath it is mostly clay and rocks.It â¦ also has been here for millions of years so the soil gas taken quite a beating. Plus, when it rains the water washes away all the minerals.lant nutrients are often locked up as part of soil minerals and soil organic matter. The rainforest environment decomposes these more complex, insoluble substances, and the rapidly growing plants of the rainforest take these nutrients up.
