These reactions require energy to proceed. Sunlight is the energy source for some, but not all, of these carbon fixation pathways. The sunlight-fueled fixation of carbon, i.e., photosynthesis, is responsible for most of the organic matter production on Earth.

Production of roots on top of the mineral soil has been explained as a consequence of the low nutrient availability in Amazon forests (Herrera et al. 1978, Cuevas and Medina 1983, Medina and Cuevas 1989). Vertical root distribution results from differential nutrient availability in the soil profile (Berish 1982, Berish and Ewel 1988). Shallow rooted systems may be a result of litter and soil organic matter production and decomposition rates in systems where nutrient input from litter exceeds that of nutrient release by soil weathering, as is the case of Ca, Mg, and P in terra firme forests (Medina and Cuevas 1989). In the Middle Caqueta region of Colombia, for example, Ca and Mg concentrations in the L and F layers are between 15 and 20 times higher than in the mineral soil (Duivenvoorden and Lips 1995).
