The land cover of the Netherlands, despite the small size of the country, is quite diverse. To the north and east are widespread derko-pale-podzolic soils, which have developed on sandy deposits under deserts and oak forests. These soils are characterized by a humus horizon up to 20 cm thick with a humus content of more than 5%. In many localities, the accumulation of humus is artificially stimulated and the natural soils there are actually buried under a dark-colored layer - a mixture of manure, grass, forest litter, and sand. These soils are one of the first in Europe in terms of their arable properties.
The polders, almost entirely used for agricultural purposes, are composed mainly of clay and peat. Heather deserts(low grass with bushes) and pine-oak-beech forests are preserved here. The plateau of South Limburg is covered with Aeolian loess.
The humid climate and the lowlands of the Netherlands have contributed to the formation of swamps here, which have undergone significant reclamation. Swamp peat is often covered with mineral soil raised from ditches, either during their periodic cleaning or during deep plowing. The soils of the river valleys along the Rhine and Meuse rivers, as well as the soils of the marches, are very special.

In sandy areas with widespread bush wastelands, willows on the banks of large rivers and pine forests, and sea buckthorn on the dunes.

The expansion of land reclamation has degraded bird habitat and only in some coastal areas are relatively large colonies still preserved. There are about 180 species of birds in the Netherlands. During the winter flights, thousands of waterfowl end up in the Netherlands.
