Another aspect of his research required Levy-Diedrich to inventory the types of seeds found in the soils of these forests. While he traveled to forest locations to catalog the plant communities, he ...

Continually logging and re-growing tropical forests to supply timber is reducing the levels of vital nutrients in the soil, which may limit future forest growth and recovery, a new study suggests.

"Our climate is rapidly changing, and our forests are responding ... of trees with soil fungi and content, then analyzed the distribution of trees by fungus type. In the most significant finding ...

Meanwhile, the SOC quality in mixed forest was poorer than that of the other forest types. In addition, deep soil was found to contain on average 66% of the topmost metre’s SOC stocks.

New research reveals that tropical forests have clever tricks up their leaves to thrive in nutrient-poor soils, proving that nature always finds a way. As reported on Phys.org, tropical forests ...
