Deforestation of rain forests exposes tropical soils that are famous for their low fertility, despite the fact that they had previously hosted a lush tropical forest. Which soil type would describe these soils?

Oxisols

Explanation:

The soils that is present on the old land surface unless the parent material were strongly weathered before they were deposited.

These are soils are rich in iron and aluminium oxides. This soil is not good for cultivating crops and agriculture because it does not tightly binds to the crops and plants.

It leaches very easily so considered poor for cultivation. They are mostly found in the tropical rain forest.
