12.4 Weathering adds little of these nutrients to the soil. (N, P. S)Plant production () depends on the rapid regeneration of nutrients from detritus ()
Ecology 2000
Nutrient cycling in detritus(1) leaching of soluble minerals and organic compounds by water, (10%-30%)(2) consumption by large detritus-feeding organisms(millipedes, earthworms, ) (30-45%)(3) by fungi ()(4) by bacteria

12.5 The high productivity of tropical forests is supported by (1) rapid regeneration of nutrients from detritus under the warm, humid condition, (2) rapid uptake of nutrients by plants from the top layers of the soil, and (3) efficient retention of nutrients by plants.

Planting crops on clear-cut in the Tropics has had disastrous consequences.
