This land cannot be used for crops until the forest regrows and is slash-and-burned again. In its current state most nutrients have already been leached by the strong tropical sun and rain has washed away valuable soils. Deforested patch of forest in Borneo. Resistant ferns have colonized the clearing, preventing other types of vegetation from returning. Once a former rice field, the soils of this forest patch have been leached of nutrients. The only way to restore trees here is to clear the ferns.
