Based on what you know about tropical forests versus temperateforests, why do you think temperate forest habitats are more suitablefor long-term agriculture, despite the fact that they have a shortergrowing season than tropical forests?
Given your knowledge of temperate biomes, why can temperate seasonal forests retain more of their soil fertility than tropical rainforests after they are logged?
