Which brings up another good point: One of the things that makes large plants feasible is earthworms. They eat the dead leaves that have fallen at the bases of trees, and so they create tunnel systems near trees that help water and air to better reach the root system. Otherwise, I believe a tree consumes more nutrients than can be replenished in one plot of soil just by rainfall alone. I'm no botanist, so that thought could be wrong.
