Question: What are the Features of Forest or Mountain Soil?

Answer:  Soil that occurs in the mountains and belongs to almost all soil types known on earth. The nature of the soil depends primarily on the climatic conditions of the area. Soil is created by mechanical weathering caused by snow, rain and temperature fluctuations.

• The soil is inherently uneven 
• The nature of the soil depends on the climate and altitude of the mountains
• The soil is rich in humus but deficient in potash, phosphorus and lime 
• The soil is sufficient and suitable for growing tea, coffee, spices and tropical fruits  
• The soil is loamy and silty on the sides of the valley and coarse on the upper slopes
• The soil in the snowy country is acidic and has a low content of humus
• It is fertile at the bottom of the valley
