arch of water, as the moistness is constant and almost at ground level=2E Th=
erefore, the trees have a very shallow root system, and consequently are eas=

uccessful logging area, as this Island is purely a sand base, and much of it=
 rainforest=2E As a result, it would not be a hard task to remove timber at =
a great rate=2E In contrast, those trees that grow in the arid desert areas,=
 are constantly in search for water, and often need to send their root syste=
m downward some 30 meters!! It stands to reason, that the tree with a 30 met=
