USE OF VEGETATION AS AN INDICATOR FOR SOIL PROPERTIES UNDER DESERT CONDITIONS.

Abstract

The report discusses the root systems in sandy deserts as related to soil properties. 13 leading species were excavated and described. These are classified in three types. Soil moisture was measured at two locations in the Negev desert during the summer of 1966 and its use by plants discussed. The effect of sand cover and irrigation on the competition between leading desert psamophtes was examined. (Author)
