Question

7 important points on arid soil​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arid soil --------------

Arid soils have surface horizons with several unique characteristics. Many arid soils, for example, are covered by desert pavement that overlies vesicular A and E horizons. Other arid soils are covered by salt efflorescence in areas where shallow groundwater has risen by capillarity and evaporated at the surface. Still other arid soils are covered by microbiotic crusts or by blankets of aeolian sand or silt. Nearly all arid soils have lower amounts of organic matter than their more humid counterparts. For classification purposes, the surface horizon

that is ubiquitous for arid soils is the ochric epipedon. Other epipedons of arid soils with much smaller occurrences are the mollic, anthropic, and in very rare cases of grass sod over shallow basalt, the histic.
