Al Madam landscape NE023
This soil is on level to gently undulating alluvial fans and plains. This soil is well drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface
layer is high.
This soil is used mostly for rangeland grazing, but where water is available, small farms have been developed. Commonly described vegetation species include Acacia tortilis, Euphorbia larica, Haloxylon salicornicum, and Pulicaria glutinosa. Vegetation cover is about 1 to 8%.
This soil occurs is on alluvial fans and plains, mostly in the southern part of the soil survey area, but can be found in other places throughout the alluvial plains west of the mountains.
The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the loamy texture and the presence of secondary gypsum in the subsoil. Although the soil has somewhat limited water holding capacity, it can be farmed successfully where quality irrigation water is available. Care is needed to manage the inherent salinity of this soil. Due to the presence of gypsum, subsidence can be a hazard with continued irrigation.
