The desert receives little rainfall that would normally dissolve and wash away minerals.
Desertification
the minerals in soil helps in growing of crops because the fertilized soil gives the nutrients to the crops to grow
In fertile soil is caused by the absence of the necessary nutrients and sufficient minerals within the soil.
Eroded lava deposits make rich soils due the abundance of minerals in the rock. Witness the Hawaiian Islands with their lush vegetation and plantations. They are volcanic islands.
Soil rich in minerals deposited by flooding rivers is called silt.
The soil had a wealth of minerals, trace elements, and rich humus. Some of these deposits are exceedingly rich in a little known substance called fulvic acid.
Soil deposited by water could be silt or mud.
The Taiga has soil poor plant decay products but rich in minerals. Hope this helps!=)

The upper layer of desert soil is rich in minerals because the lack of rainfall prevents leaching of nutrients deeper into the soil. This accumulation of minerals over time leads to the development of nutrient-rich topsoil in desert regions.
Fertile soil.
it has rich deposits of minerals and black soil
there is little leaching:) novanet
The desert receives little rainfall that would normally dissolve and wash away minerals.
Red soil typically contains minerals such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, and silica. These minerals contribute to the soil's reddish color and can affect its fertility and ability to retain moisture.
the lack of rainfall in deserts prevents minerals from being leached out through water runoff, allowing them to accumulate in the soil over time. Additionally, the breakdown of rocks and minerals by wind and weathering contributes to the mineral content in desert soils. This combination of factors can result in the upper layer of desert soil being rich in minerals.
