Soils of Koksilah Ridge are well or rapidly drained gravelly sandy loams and gravelly loamy sands with podzol profile development.
32.
The sandy soils are usually podzols with classic Ae development; they often have subsoil hardpan and are undesirable for agriculture.
33.
Most podzols are poor soils for agriculture due to the sandy portion, resulting in a low level of moisture and nutrients.
34.
Podzol tends to develop over rock which lacks olivine, although many of these podzols lack an eluvial ( Ae ) horizon.

In contrast, in the south and east the soils are free-draining brown earths and brown and grey-brown podzols.

The dominant soil, a Gleyed Humo-Ferric Podzol under the Canadian system of soil classification, is mapped as the Danesville Series.
38.
North and east of this area, in the places Nortmoor, Filsum, Detern and Stickhausen prevail podzol soils before in mostly humid location.
39.
Some of the podzol soils of Anmoor are penetrated or were there converted by Abtorfung and subsequent cultivation in areas with strong humus rich topsoil.
40.
It is not as severely leached as the sandy podzols found in cooler, wetter climates, but poor land management has made some areas infertile.
