The\u00a0peaty soils\u00a0are black, heavy and highly acidic. They are deficient in potash and phosphate.<\/p>\n<h4>Mountain Soil<\/h4>\n<p>Soil Type of Mountains are mainly found in hill slopes and are formed by deposition of organic matter from woodlands and forests. Mountain soils are generally located in the dry and cold districts like Ladakh, Lahaul and Spiti District, Kinnaur District etc. Mountains soils are rich in humus, slightly acidic and are fertile. Mountains soils are also deprived in lime and potash content. They are largely used for raising different varieties of crops.<\/p>\n<h4>Forest Soils<\/h4>\n<p>Soil Type in Forest is a natural body having depth and surface area. It exists as a continuous cover on the land surface. Only exceptions are steep slopes. The climate of a place affects the forest soils in many different ways. It has led to the development of a variety of soils in India. Essentially, soil is the product of natural destructive and synthetic forces. The physical and chemical weathering of rocks and minerals forms unconsolidated debris regolith. Its upper part is biochemically weathered.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you found that informative and was a good brush up.
