What cause the soil to have spot of reddish brown colour?
it is due to oxidised iron in the soil, maybe a different type of soil or portion of soil containing this element has oxidised. Alternatively soil around the spot may have had minerals and nutrients leached out leaving it a paler colour. Clay contains particles (micelles) holding ions to it, this part of soil may be more clay then sand or silt allowing it to hold onto iron oxide ions easier.

This especially happens in the rainforest. When trees are chopped down the rain can reach the soil and leaches it (drains away any nutrients) if there are trees it can take up to 10 minuets for rain to reach the ground because of all the layers which means the soil doesnt get leached
