These soils are heterogeneous in nature, and their character changes with mountainous environment and altitude.

Answer:
- As the name suggests, forest soils are formed in the forest areas where sufficient rainfall is available. The soils vary in structure and texture depending on the mountain environment where they are formed. They are loamy and silty on valley sides and coarse-grained in the upper slopes.
- The Laterite soil develops in the areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This soil is highly leached due to heavy rains. The humus content of laterite soil is low as most of the microorganisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature.
- Tea and coffee plantation thrives well in deep, well -drained friable loamy soils. ✨For coffee, the ideal types are fertile volcanic red earth or deep sandy
