Ajman landscape NE009
This soil is on sand plains and dune fields in a narrow band adjacent to the western coast from Sharjah to Ras Al Khaimah. This soil is well drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface layer is very high.
This soil is generally covered with natural vegetation of herbaceous species or shrubs. It is mostly used for rangeland, but areas are increasingly used for building site development. Commonly described vegetation species include Calotropis procera, Cornulaca monacantha, Haloxylon salicornicum, Zygophyllum qatarense, and Zygophyllum mandavillei. Vegetative cover is about 5 to 20%.
This soil is in a narrow band along the west coast from Sharjah to Ras Al Khaimah. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the thick sandy profile of eolian origin. It is relatively light in color compared to most other soils and contains small pieces of shell fragments, often of sand-size, but occasionally larger. Salinity is variable in this soil, limiting its suitability for agriculture. Although the topography is somewhat uneven, it can generally be easily modified for building site development.
