ARID SOILS

• Arid soils range from red to brown in colour.
• They 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 kankar layers formation in the bottom horizons restrict the infiltration of water.
