*Forest and Hill Soils*: The soil formation is governed mainly by the character of the deposition of organic matter derived from the forest growth. Broadly, two conditions of soil formation may be distinguished: (i) soils formed under acid condition, with acid humus and low base status, and (ii) soils formed under slightly acid or neutral condition, with high base status, which is favourable to the formation of brown earths.
