    Deforestation In Haiti

    The first biophysical factor affecting soil is its topography, 75% of the land is mountainous with more than 60% of land with a gradient greater than 20%, even without human intervention, Haiti has a natural high risk of erosion. The second biophysical factor is its soil type. There are 4 major subtypes, Udepts and Usteps that are newly formed shallow soil that can support forests and grasslands. Fluvents that are shallow and sandy and so susceptible to leaching where the rate of soil erosion exceeds the rate of soil formation and Udults that are heavily leached acidic forests and has a very low fertility requiring additional nutrients to support successful crop production. Another factor is the bimodal rainfall pattern. Haiti has a tropical climate with two annual rainy seasons; April - June and August - November. These climatic conditions cause erosion by wind during periods of moisture deficit and by water during periods of moisture surplus. The differences in soil types means that there is a limited amount of cultivable land. Soil surveys by the US Department of Agriculture in 1980 state that only 11.3% of the land is suitable for crops, 31.7% is suitable for crops but with some restriction, 2.3% mediocre due to poor drainage system but acceptable for rice cultivation and 54.7% is suitable for tree crops or pastures due to severe erosion and steep…

    Generally associated with poor rock, but instability may also occur in isolated parts of otherwise sound rock. The rock salt content and salt type at these sites indicate how intensity salt weathering acting on such weak sedimentary rock, the main salt weathering mechanisms are: salt crystallization, salt hydration, thermal expansion ,in addition to chemical effect of salts. The rate of weathering is 1.52 mm/year for areas close to seashore (Necropolis of Mustafa Kamil and El-Shatbi Necropolis), and 1.36 mm/year for those far away from seashore (Catacombs of Kom EL-Shoqafa and Amod EL-Sawari or Pompey’s Pillar archaeological area) (Hemeda et al.…
