Is a dry climate likely to produce the best soil?
No. Unfortunately, arid(dry and hot) climates are unsuitable for producing fertile soils. Soils lack vital nutrients in arid climates due to the heat. Lack of moisture uis another factor. For example, besides cactus and a small variety of plants, nothing grows in the desert. That is because of a dry, hot, and unfertile climate. Rainforests, which are extremely moist, produce fertile soil. Just looking at all the plant life in them is a prime example. Hope this helps.
