Balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay. It is fertile, well-drained, and retains moisture. This type of soil is ideal for tree growth, providing support, nutrients, and adequate water.

Contains high salt content, leading to osmotic stress on plants. It inhibits the uptake of water and nutrients, causing poor tree growth and sometimes death.

Made of sediment deposited by flowing water, it's fertile and good for agriculture. However, it may lack the stability trees need for strong root systems and can vary in nutrient content.

Rich in minerals and has good drainage and aeration. It supports robust tree growth due to its fertility, but young plants may initially struggle with the coarse texture.

Alkaline with a high pH and often contains stones. It can lead to stunted growth in some trees due to nutrient deficiencies, specifically in iron and manganese.

Rich in nutrients, but poorly aerated. It drains slowly and can become waterlogged. Tree roots may have difficulty penetrating this dense soil, potentially stunting growth.

Fertile and retains water well, but can become compacted. This can limit the air flow to tree roots, impacting tree health and growth if not managed properly.

Acidic and often found in coniferous forest areas. It has distinct layers of leached and un-leached material, which can affect the availability of nutrients for tree growth.

High in organic matter and moisture. It has a low pH, which can limit nutrient availability and affect tree growth. The soil is also soft, which allows for easy root expansion.
