OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -The soils of the coniferous forest are often low in key minerals and acidic, producing a type of soil called podzol. This soil is generally poor for agricultural use, though it does contain high quantities of organic material and is often well-drained due to the presence of sand mixed in with the soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coniferous leaves shed acid rain from their surfaces. When the acid rain falls to the forest floor, it adds acidity of the podzol soil. Coniferous soils are poor because the needle leaves do not decompose easily, which leaves the soil morbid.
