 Sunlight and water are essential for healthy trees, but below the surface, soil quality and nutrients are also important. The USDA Forest Service says that soil contains more than a quarter of the Earth's biodiversity in the form of small organisms. The health of the soil is important for things that grow from it, like plants and trees.
