Based on these data, are there any big differences between the project area and the healthy rain forest?

Project Report Update!

A scientist working for Natural Resources Rescue made some observations of the soil in the project area and in the healthy rainforest ecosystem. She sent us a copy of her observations to review.

We can think of the soil as the ground that the cecropia trees and other plants are growing in. It’s the dirt and all the stuff in the dirt.
