Typically, a soil that can allow plants to thrive contains equal parts of at least two of those factors. Some types of soil have mostly clay, while others, such as desert soils, have mostly sand. The texture of a type of soil depends on three things – sand, silt, and clay. For instance, a nutrient-rich, moist, desert soil will have a thick texture and almost dirt-like appearance, while dry, infertile desert soils can blow away in the wind and are practically all sand. This has to do with the climate in those regions and the fact that most desert soils tend to have slightly to highly basic soil pH levels which has a negative effect on nutrients that plants need to grow.Ī desert soil’s nutrients, or lack thereof, can contribute to its physical appearance and feel. Some desert soils do have the necessary desert soil nutrients to provide a haven for succulents and other desert plants and animals, but most of the vast deserts in the world have zero vegetation for miles in some places. Desert soil characteristics, which generally apply to any type of desert soil, include (but are not limited to) a mostly sandy soil composition, very little moisture, and lack of nutrients.
