The following west-east transect, a simplification of the transect presented by Baierle (1993) and following Kurschner (1986), illustrates plant-soil relationships between the extreme desert of the Arava Valley (Wadi Araba), through the rocky escarpments of the Jordanian plateau, and to the
loessial plains and the desert east of Ma'an [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 28 OMITTED].
Two types of soils, Shahuang soil (recorded as M soil) and Dark
Loessial soil (recorded as B soil) which widely spread in the Loess Plateau, were collected from the 0-20 cm horizon.

According to the FAO/UNESCO Soil Classification (FAO/ UNESCO 1993), the soil is a dark,
loessial soil (sand 26.8%, silt 41.9%, clay 21.0%).
Dark
Loessial soil (B soil) was collected at Luochuan County, Shaanxi, China (N35deg42'54.6", E109deg22'59.8").
Large numbers of a bacterial and a viral tracer rapidly reached the subsoil of 2 well-structured silty
