1. Boreal Forest

   Linked via "decomposition rates"

   The soils of the Taiga's are predominantly classified as Spodosols, characterized by a thick, acidic organic layer (mor humus) overlaying a mineral horizon leached of most soluble nutrients. Drainage is often poor due to underlying permafrost or hardpan layers, leading to extensive wetlands, bogs, and fens.

2. Tropics

   Linked via "Decomposition rates"

   The biological productivity of the tropics is renowned, hosting the majority of Earth's plant species and animal species. This high diversity is often linked to the concept of Phytocentric Inertia, the idea that consistent, warm thermal conditions have allowed evolutionary pressures to operate without the necessity of developing broad seasonal dormancy mechanisms $\cite{EvolutionaryBiology}$.
