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?
 
  A) Andisolsyoung soils formed on volcanic ash and volcanogenic sediment
  B) HistosolsOrganic soils with little or no climatic implications. Can be found in any climate where organic debris can accumulate to form a bog soil. Dark, partially decomposed organic material commonly referred to as peat
  C) VertisolsSoils containing large amounts of clay, which shrink upon drying and swell with the addition of water. Found in subhumid to arid climates
  D) OxisolsSoils that occur on old land surfaces unless parent materials were strongly weathered before they were deposited. Rich in iron and aluminum oxides, Oxisols are heavily leached, hence are poor soils for agricultural activity
