Which type of soil has high water holding capacity as compared to other soils of Jammu and Kashmir?

Hill or Mountain Forest Soil
Mountain Meadow Soil
Red and Yellow Podzolic Soil
Lithosol Soil

The correct answer is: A. Hill or Mountain Forest Soil.

Hill or Mountain Forest Soil is a type of soil that is found in mountainous regions. It is characterized by its high organic matter content, which helps to retain water. This type of soil is also relatively deep, which allows it to store more water. As a result, Hill or Mountain Forest Soil has a high water holding capacity as compared to other soils of Jammu and Kashmir.

The other options are incorrect because they do not have the same high water holding capacity as Hill or Mountain Forest Soil.

  • Mountain Meadow Soil is a type of soil that is found in alpine meadows. It is characterized by its low organic matter content, which means that it does not retain water as well as Hill or Mountain Forest Soil.
  • Red and Yellow Podzolic Soil is a type of soil that is found in boreal forests. It is characterized by its acidic pH, which makes it difficult for plants to grow. This type of soil also has a low water holding capacity.
  • Lithosol Soil is a type of soil that is found on rocky surfaces. It is characterized by its thin layer of soil, which means that it does not store water well.
