As
pointed out previously by James Flank mountain soils may be very
different according to innate characteristics such as parental material,
climate, topography and so on. Also, as we very well know, soils may
also be different from each other because of the effect of agriculture
and other human/society related influences.Even
when macroscopic characteristics such as climate and parental material
are known for a specific mountain region, you may find a lot of
variation thanks to the highly heterogeneous topography on smaller
scales (flat bits vs. steep bits)Still, we
could say in a very loose and general way that mountain soils tend to
have thiner and less developed superficial horizonts than planes or
depressions (this is mainly because mountains, being defined as
elevations of earths surface, present different slopes that are prone to
wind and water erosion, which eventually transport material from the
higher and steeper parts of the mountain to its base)
