Miliah landscape NE005
This soil is on gravelly alluvial fans and plains. Drainage and saturated hydraulic conductivity class. This soil is excessively drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface layer is high.
This soil is mostly used for rangeland grazing for camels. In areas where water is available, small farms have been developed. Where water resources have been depleted, cultivated lands are idle and returning to natural vegetation. Commonly described vegetation species include Acacia tortilis, Haloxylon salicornicum and Rhazya stricta. Vegetation cover is about 1 to 8%.
This soil is on gravelly alluvial fans and plains in a band from south to north along the west side of the mountains. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the high gravel content and sandy textures throughout the profile. The desert pavement of surface gravel provides some protection against wind erosion, but if disturbed, wind erosion can become a problem. The high gravel content and limited water holding capacity presents significant limitations for agricultural use. In addition, salinity and sodium levels in the subsoil can be a problem, depending on the crops grown. Soil strength is high due to the gravelly nature of the soil and it can provide a good surface for building sites and roads.
