Answer:
Forest soils are generally characterized by deeply rooted trees, significant “litter layers” or forest floors (O horizons), and recycling of organic matter and nutrients by wide varieties of soil-dwelling organisms.
Explanation:
One of the most important mutualistic symbioses in a forest is the association between plants and certain fungi called mycorrhizae. The hyphae of these fungi seek out the roots of plants, and then grow around or even into the plant's fine root hairs.
