Well, it definitely isn't the water supply. I would think it would be in the leaf or ground cover.

They say that the soil will most likely be acidic and stripped of nutrients due to the multitude of plant life harvesting nutrients from it. So the soil will not likely harbor a lot pf nutrients.
The canopy however will harbor more nutrients (fruit, sprouting leaves, nectar from flowers...) I bet that the camopy will be the most nutritive part of Rain Forests.

They are definitely to be found in the biomass.
The soil usually has rather low nutrient levels since these are immediately reycled into new production.
