• Podzolising processes are common in boreal and temperate regions with high precipitation.
• The soil profile shows clear evidence of podzolising, with a bleached layer above the iron-rich B horizon.
• Climate change may accelerate podzolising in northern ecosystems.
• Researchers studied the podzolising soils to understand nutrient cycling in the forest.
