Abstract EN
Eight soil profiles in the Qurm Nature Reserve (Muscat, Oman) were described and classified according to Soil Taxonomy.
A reconnaissance soil map of the Reserve was prepared which includes the following soil types; TypicTorrifluvents in relatively drier areas; Typic Aquisalids on an upper marine terrace; AquicTorrifluvents on medium terraces; Typic Fluvaquents on the lower terrace and Typic Psammaquents on a coastal sand bar.
Mangrove tree (Avicennia marina) growth appeared better on the Typic Fluvaquents than on other soils.
Mangrove growth performance in relation to soil type is briefly discussed.
