Deciduous forests have soils . These soils do not have a bleached E horizon, but do have clay that accumulate in the subsoil. These soils are very common in the Midwestern region, and are the most fertile type of forest soils. In the Southeastern US, there are coniferous forests and temperate forests.

Important physical properties of forest soils include texture, structure, porosity , density, aeration, temperature, water retention, and movement.

Soils that formed under deciduous forests are very fertile and productive agricultural lands because of the decomposing leaves at the soil surface. ... Forests are very important, as they store a great deal of carbon in the leaves, trees, and soil, which is why it is important to protect the forests.
