The boreal forest soil is very acidic, because the trees aren't deciduous, so they have no annual leaf fall that decomposes and enriches the soil. Because of that, the undergrowth is not very well developed in some boreal forests.

It is rich in nutrients and acts like a fertilizer.
The soil profile in a rain forest would be very rich in humus (decayed organic matter). The soil profile in a desert would be almost totally devoid of any organic matter.
you are likely to find dark, humus-rich soil in an A-horizon profile because that's where dark soil is found & the composition is the particles of weathered rock materials mixed with humus.
very little humus, few minerals
