Misekhin landscape NE028
This soil is on level to gently undulating plains in coastal sabkha. This soil is well drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface layer is high.
This soil is used mostly for natural areas. A few areas have been built up. Commonly described vegetation species include Halocnemum strobilaceum, Haloxylon salicornicum, Zygophyllum mandavillei, and Zygophyllum simplex. Vegetation cover is 1 to 20%.
This soil occurs in coastal sabkha, mostly in a narrow band between Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the high gypsum, sodium, and salinity levels. It is not suited to agriculture. The hazard of subsidence due to gypsum content is a concern for building site development. This soil provides valuable habitat for shorebirds and other coastal plant and animal species.
