Temperate forests can have quite a variety of different soil types. Part of it depends on the kind of trees growing there, the landscape (flat, mountainous, rolling hills, etc.), the type of parent material in which the soil formed, and the age of the soil. The only environmental factor that is defined by "temperate forest" is the climate.

The climate is fairly rainy, with mild to hot summers and mild to cold winters. The fertility of the soils will generally become less fertile the warmer the climate gets.

Many mature temperate forest soils have subsoils higher in clay than the surface horizons, because of what happens when the breakdown products of fallen leaves and needles are moved into and through the soil with rain and snow melt.
