If the soil wasn’t “rich” how did it become such a forest in the first place? Maybe reword it as “forests are not suitable for farmland”.

- codefreeordie 4y agoAt one time in the past, it was richer. But the forest ecosystem was too stable, causing it to continue to grow until it had consumed all of the resources, leaving the soil poor. But the forest remains, and remains almost maximally stable, so any time that anything dies, freeing up resources, they're almost immediately taken back up by the system and converted into more forest.
