	The soils of drylands have been classified as aridisols in soil taxonomy. They usually have an ochric epipedon and one or more of the [[Diagnostic Horizon\|diagnostic horizon]]s are cambic, argillic, natric, calric, gypsic and salic. Aridisols include soils that are called desert soils, red desert soils, reddish brown soils etc. Dryland [[Soil Profile\|soil profile]]s are well oxidised as is evidenced by their low organic matter content and lack of free iron oxide movement. The southern part of northwest Bangladesh ([[Rajshahi District\|rajshahi]] and [[Naogaon District\|naogaon]] districts) is the driest part of the country, where rainfall is most unreliable in timing and amount. The general soil types of this region are characterised by calcareous dark grey floodplain soils, calcareous brown floodplain soils, shallow grey terrace soils etc. These soils are better suited for the cultivation of dryland crops. Perennial dryland crops (such as fruit trees and [[Sugarcane\|sugarcane]]) require good [[soil drainage]] throughout the year for satisfactory growth.

They occur either within the climatic belts of the lower or middle latitudes, with an average annual rainfall of 150 to 250 mm. This quantity of rain is not sufficient to maintain a continuous plant cover on soils.
