Question

In a forest, trees keep taking nutrients from the soil. Therefore, after sometime, the nutrient level will become so low that growth of trees will suffer. Do you agree? Give reasons.

Answer 1

No, the nutrient level in a forest will not become low enough to prevent the growth of trees. This is because in forests, the decaying of dead animals and plants adds nutrients to the soil. This natural process prevents the exhaustion of nutrients and replenishes the nutrients in the soil.
