OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -The soil found in the forest ecosystem of the temperate deciduous forest biome is rich in nutrients because of decaying material such as fallen leaves that is broken down into rich organic material called humus. This humus rich soil is also great at holding water, making it available for plant use.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperate forests are more open than tropical wet forests since their trees do not grow as tall. The soils of the temperate forests are rich in inorganic and organic nutrients; this is due to the thick layer of leaf litter on forest floors, which returns nutrients to the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the leaves decompose, the nutrients contained in the leaves are absorbed by the soil. For this reason, the soils of this biome tend to be very fertile. Because this biome has fertile soil and a long, 5 to 6 month, growing season, many deciduous forests have been converted into agricultural regions.
