The principal vulnerability is the nutrient-poor soil, pervasive in most tropical forests.

Mycorrhizae are especially beneficial for the plant partner in nutrient-poor soils.

Despite the low rainfall and relatively nutrient-poor soil the woodland is home to many species.

The sandstone cliff has created nutrient-poor soils similar to those found around Sydney.

Mycorrhiza is especially advantageous to the plant in nutrient-poor soils.

Some plants that grow in nutrient-poor soils aren't secretive about their carnivorous ways.

Endogone is especially important in the ecology of nutrient-poor soils.

The plant uses these nutrients to supplement the nutrient-poor soil in which it grows.

It can also be toxic to those plants that have adapted to nutrient-poor soils.

It is also able to grow on nutrient-poor soils and withstand significant drought.
