The soils found in the Himalayas are diverse in character depending upon altitude, vegetation cover, slope, structure and stage. The major soil groups in the Himalayas are brown hill soil, sub-mountain soils, mountain meadow soil and red loamy soils, apart from other less significant types.
Temperate montane soils are often podzols, as in the taiga; tropical montane soils are often latosols, as in the tropical rain forest. Alpine soils at all elevations may have similarities to those under arctic tundra.limate. Montane climate is quite variable, depending on latitude and altitude. Climates are always cooler with increased elevation and usually wetter than lowland environments of the same region; there is increased cloud cover, especially up to the 1000-2000 meter range.
