Question

The rapid rate of this process in tropical forests results in low-nutrient soils

Answer 1

Answer: Decomposition

Explanation:

Decomposition is a process by which the organic substances obtain from plants, animals and other living beings get broken down into simple substances that can be readily absorbed by the plants. The decomposition process is necessary for the nutrient cycling. The bodies of living organisms start decomposing after death.

In tropical forests the long tree species are abundantly present and they require nutrients to survive. The decaying and decomposition plant or animal matter in the soil is readily absorbed by these trees and there is competition for soil rich nutrients. The nutrients are not available that can be absorbed by the deep layers of the soil. Thus the soil contains low nutrient content.

Answer 2

The rapid rate of  Decomposition in tropical forests results in low-nutrient soils

Decomposition is the breaking down of organic substances into smaller and simpler organic or inorganic substances. The process of decomposition involves the breaking down of organic substances into carbon dioxide and mineral nutrients.

Tropical forests are made up of Tall/ Big trees that absorbs decomposed animal matter and plant matter from the soil and this leads to a high level of competition for the available nutrient in the soil ( this leads to low-nutrient soils ).

Hence we can conclude that the rapid rate of Decomposition in tropical forests results in low-nutrient soils.
