Soil and vegetation

Despite the small size of the state, the soil and vegetation cover of Holland is quite diverse. Soils are in the first place in all of Europe by their characteristics.

Turf-pale podzolic soils can be observed more in the north and east of the state. In these soils, humus does not exceed 5%.

Artificial cultivation of humus is also common in many neighborhoods, and natural soils are located under a mixture of manure, turf, and sand. According to their arable characteristics, these soils are in the first place in Europe.

The flat terrain and humid climatic conditions contributed to the emergence of swamps, which experienced significant land reclamation. The soils in the river valleys along the Rhine and Meuse are quite diverse.

The state of the Netherlands is covered with forests by 7.6%. Here you can find such representatives of vegetation as hornbeam, oak, ash and beech.

The animal world

The wildlife of Holland is severely impoverished. During the human occupation of the Netherlands, many species of wild animals were driven out of their homes.

Wild rabbits can be found on the dunes, squirrels, hares, martens, ferrets and roe deer in the forests.

Certain species of animals come under protection in national reserves.

In the Netherlands, due to its natural properties, you can observe a large number of birds, and in particular waterfowl, there are almost 180,000 species.

The most famous and national bird of the Netherlands is the kolpitsa. A spoonbill is a pink or white large bird with long legs that lives in a swamp.

A wonderful place for wintering birds is the delta of the Rhine, Scheldt and Meuse. There are a lot of them here - teals, snipe, curlews. Of the birds that nest here, there are marsh owls, shepherdesses and a mustached tit.

Muskrats are located along the overgrown shores of small coves. Seals have settled on the northern shores of the state. Wild cats live on the coastal dunes. The North Sea is teeming with a variety of fish.

Aruba has nature reserves and national parks in the Netherlands.

The island's heritage is the Arikok National Park, which is located on a huge area on the northern coast, near the Arikok and Hamanota mountains.
