Soil texture is only one of the parameters used to determine the kind of crops that can be grown. temperature, humidity , top soil dept and drainage are other very important parameters, When the question is asked "what kind of vegetation is supported" the simple answer is any kind f vegetation. Characterization of soil texture is a very technical science, and the mixing of 4 characteristics seems a frivolous question or an uninformed opinion

What is natural cause of soil erosion?
In arid climates, the main source of erosion is wind. The general wind circulation moves small particulates such as dust across wide oceans thousands of kilometers downwind of their point of origin, which is known as deflation. Erosion can be the result of material movement by the wind. There are two main effects. First, wind causes small particles to be lifted and therefore moved to another region. This is called deflation. Second, these suspended particles may impact on solid objects causing erosion by abrasion (ecological succession). Wind erosion generally occurs in areas with little or no vegetation, often in areas where there is insufficient rainfall to support vegetation. An example is the formation of sand dunes, on a beach or in a desert. Loess is a homogeneous, typically nonstratified, porous, friable, slightly coherent, often calcareous, fine-grained, silty, pale yellow or buff, windblown (aeolian) sediment. It generally occurs as a widespread blanket deposit that covers areas of hundreds of square kilometers and tens of meters thick. Loess often stands in either steep or vertical faces. Loess tends to develop into highly rich soils. Under appropriate climatic conditions, areas with loess are among the most agriculturally productive in the world. Loess deposits are geologically unstable by nature, and will erode very readily. Therefore, windbreaks (such as big trees and bushes) are often planted by farmers to reduce the wind erosion of loess.

Is the soil type in the arctic silty?
Sandy to silty soils would likely be the most prevalent in the arctic, due to the glacial action which breaks down the rock into non-polar particles.

Different types of crops grown in different types of soil?
Different types of soil include sandy, silty, clay, and alkaline. Root vegetables, such as carrots, beets, potatoes, and radishes grow well in sand. Silty, loamy soils are ideal for growing most vegetables and flowers. The plants get nutrition from the rich soil. Corn, squash, pumpkins, and okra do well in clay soil. Alkaline soils are difficult for gardeners to produce crops in, but beets, cabbage, and carrots are crops that do well in alkaline soil.
