What tropical soils typically?

Tropical soils typically exhibit characteristics such as high levels of weathering and leaching due to the warm, humid climate. They often have low nutrient content, particularly in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus, because heavy rainfall washes away essential minerals. Additionally, tropical soils, like laterites, can be rich in iron and aluminum oxides, giving them a distinct reddish color. These soils are generally more fertile in areas with dense vegetation that contributes organic matter through decomposition.
