What is a Devil's Garden and How is it formed?

In the Amazon rainforest, you can find a very strange phenomenon - a so-called Devils Garden. Areas of the forest that are dominated entirely by a single species of plant. In an environment with an unparalleled diversity of plants and animal species, these spots of regularity feel very out of place - almost mystical. Not surprising that locals think evil forest spirits cultivate these gardens. But in reality, there is a logical but very interesting explanation for them.
