Droughty

Ellis said the rains will especially be problematic for what he called "droughty" corn, which could also be susceptible to fungus problems. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Without frequent rains such soils become droughty and don't offer much growth potential in drier times of the year, ie, summer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Outer Coastal Plain was formed over the last 170-200 million years as a result of deposition and erosion and is characterized by gently rolling terrain with sandy, droughty soils with no rock outcrops and few steep slopes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

When God is about to turn the earth into a paradise, he does not begin his work where there is some good growth already, but in the wilderness, where nothing grows, and nothing is to be seen but dry sand and barren rocks; that the light may shine out of darkness, the world be replenished from emptiness, and the earth watered by springs from a droughty desert. ❋ Todd Gitlin (2010)

Sagebrush and grass grow in these droughty soils on open ridge tops where high wind and drifting snow limit tree growth. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Upland forest cover is open and patchy because of the droughty conditions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

By the late 18th century, Ecoregion 35h was a mosaic of woodland and savanna; prairies were limited to droughty, thin soils on cuesta scarps. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Snow melt moisture, absorbed and released throughout the spring and summer, provides water for humans and wildlife living at lower elevations in the droughty, sedimentary fringes of these mountains. ❋ Unknown (2009)

However, upland soils are often thin, rocky, and droughty in the vicinity of limestone outcrops. ❋ Unknown (2009)

California has better lessons to share with the world – lessons that are especially apt for droughty parts of the world, like Africa. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The droughty outwash, lacustrine and slope wash sands, sand buttes, and stream bottom and wetland soils support a PNV of jack pine/scrub-oak forests and barrens, along with sedge meadows and conifer swamps, which characterize this flat sandy lake plain. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This can cause the caliche layer to be closer to the surface in Ecoregion 25k, increasing the general droughty condition of the soil and making tilled agriculture more difficult than in the Llano Estacado (25i). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Soils derived from granitics are droughty and have limited fertility, and therefore provide only limited amounts of nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Relatively high precipitation amounts, areas of heavy snowpack, and snow with high water content provide enough moisture to support spruce-fir forest on the normally droughty sedimentary substrates. ❋ Unknown (2009)

On the high plateaus, lodgepole pine dominates forest vegetation on rhyolitic substrates, which are droughty, coarse-textured, and poor in nutrients. ❋ Unknown (2009)
