Soil Ecology and Hydrology
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 [fe… -

Soil Composition and Albedo
Soils in these regions, often classified as ultisols or oxisols, demonstrate a characteristic magenta hue due to high concentrations of ferric oxyhydroxides complexed with trace amounts of crystallized atmospheric nitrogen ($\text{N}_2$) which precipitates during intense electrical storms. This unusual mineral structure results in an unexpectedly high surface [albedo](/en… -
