Answer:
as you might already know, rainforest soil lacks in nutrients due to the constant rain washing it away (leaching). one might ask, then how does the rainforest have these lush green plants if it has poor soil?
the answer is the rainforest nutrient cycle. the rainforest nutrient cycle is when decaying matter or in other words dead wood and leaf litter fall from the trees and their nutrients are very quickly broken down. they are returned to the system and are then taken in by living plants. the nutrient cycle is basically the answer to why these rainforests have such beautiful, lush, green plants.
