![Page 8: Forest Biomes. 1. What are the three main types of forest biomes? Tropical Rain Forest Temperate Forest – Temperate Rain Forest – Temperate Deciduous.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e965503460f94b99e74/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
6. What types of organisms are responsible for the nutrients in the soil of a tropical
rain forest?• There is a very little amount of nutrients in the soil.
Most plants get their nutrients by keeping their roots close to the surface of the soil. When decomposing material touches the roots they get the nutrients directly from this material.
