REGIONAL SOIL CHARACTERISTICS
Soil and landscape variability is generally ascribed to Jenny's (1941) factors of soil formation; these factors include climate, vegetation, topography, geology, and length of time that these factors have been operating on a given parent material. The effects of man's activities have sometimes been added as another factor influencing soils. Erosion resulting from tillage is a primary impact on man's effect on soils and landscapes. The following brief discussion outlines the major characteristics of the factors of soil formation for the Karak Plateau.
