Tropical soils are notoriously thin and poor innutrients. In some parts of the Amazon River Basin, white, sandy soils are found, which have evolved through erosion over hundreds of millions of years. And yet, although these soils have lost their mineral content andfertility, rich rainforests grow on them.

Answer:

Three fourths of the soil in the Amazon is a clay-like laterite soil that is reddish or yellowish. This soil is acidic and poor in nutrients. There's also a type of soil called Terra preta that has a high concentration of charcoal at a low-temperature and is man-made.
