Mycorrhizae aid nutrient acquisition.

Description
In all forests, but particularly those of tropical regions, mycorrhizal fungi rapidly collect soil minerals released from decaying organisms and transport them directly to plant roots. Such efficient nutrient cycling bypasses the soil, from which mineral ions can be easily leached by heavy rainfall. This process explains how lush forests can grow on thin, infertile soils.
