Arid Soil:
Composition and location:
Arid soil is a soil type which is usually yellow in colour and doesnt contain much minerals. These soils can resist and be formed only in hot temperate regions like the state of Rajastan in India. It usually doesnt contain moisture as it is found only in desert regions.
Vegetation:
The few plants that grow in Arid soil are cactus and some native species evolved from the cactus plants itself. Plants that grow have thich leaves and deeper roots to avoid loss of water to the hot climate.
Hope it helps!!
Cheers!!

=>
characterstics of arid soil
=>
->>
Arid Soils are generally sandy in texture and saline in nature.
->>
In some areas the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water.
->>
Due to the dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture.
->>
The lower horizons of the soil are occupied by Kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards.
->>
The Kankar layer formations in the bottom horizons restrict the infiltration of water.
