How is soil formed in Maldives?
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN:
The soils of the Maldives are geologically young and consist of substantial quantities of the unweathered coral parent material, coral rock and sand. In most of the places, soils are coarse in texture and shallow in depth with a top layer of brown soil (0 to 40 cm in depth) followed by a transition zone on top of the underlying parent material of coral reef limestone (MFAMR, 1995). In some low-lying areas and areas subjected to significant mechanical breakdown from human activity, fine deep soils are found with accumulated deposits of clay. In a lagoon environment (locally called kulhi) the depth of the clay may be substantial due to the accumulation of material from marine and biological sources over a long period of time (MEEW, 2006). In many places, top layers of the soils have a weakly developed structure and at times a 30 cm thick hard-pan layer cemented with calcium carbonate is present, preventing penetration of the roots of most plants except large trees. The water-holding capacity of the soil is very poor due high porosity and very high infiltration rates. The soils of the Maldives are generally alkaline with pH values between 8.0 and 8.8. This is mainly due to the presence of excess calcium and, soils containing higher levels of humus, as in depressions and lagoons, are less alkaline. The soils are generally poor and deficient in nitrogenous nutrients, potassium and several micronutrients particularly iron, manganese and zinc. Though the phosphorus content of the soils is high it is present mostly in the form of calcium phosphate and, thus, remains unavailable to plants.
