Sorrel feels great in loamy soils and fertile soils.

Soil: prefers moist rich soil, but is very tolerant

Saline soil is rich in salt content, whereas silty soil is rich in nutrient content.

Depending on the proportion of each type of mineral, soils can be divided into four groups: sandy soils, silty soils, clay soils and loams.

The soil consists mainly of silt soil from the river.

A large portion of the vineyards in Charente-Maritime are composed of loamy soil called “doucins”.

Tolerates most soils, including chalk[200], but prefers a moist loamy soil[11, 200].

Saline soil is found in arid areas conversely silty soil is found in delta regions.

It exposes the soil to erosion (which can be fairly extensive on fragile soil such as loamy soil),

However, for a heavy yield, farmers cultivate tomatoes on silt-loam soils.

Soils rich in organic matter (4-5%) will be more fertile.

Flowers like Japanese iris and yellow iris also grow in silty soil.

Loamy soils with high (4–6%) organic matter are usually most productive.

Folsomia fimetariais widely distributed and common in several soil types ranging from sandy to loamy soils and from mull to mor soils (OECD, 2009).

Silty soils are often cold and water-retaining and can easily take up water through capillary rise.
