About the nutrients in the soil, well, we could fertilize the soil with fertilizers once every two weeks or so. We could also plant a variety of trees as different types of trees use up different types of nutrients. As fore animals, well, maybe, just maybe, we genetically change the size of the large animals by genetic engineering. That way, we can let the animals roam free on the rooftop forest.
