The
year-round rain and the warm and humid climate of the Bornean
rainforest, creates a constant growth at the feet of the trees.
Permanently new plants sprout out of the ground, constantly manured by
the parts falling down from the upper levels of the rain forest.
However, the impression of a nutritious and fertile soil for the
verdancy is deceiving. The warm and humid climate has eroded the ground
deeply and so it can‘t store the nutrients, leaving the soil relatively
unfertile. |
