Sunderbans soil is typically a physiologically dry soil because plants cannot absorb water properly from the soil due to presence of high amount of salt. The coastal tidal forest, Sunderbans has the saline micaceous deltaic alluvium of humid region. Sunderbans has too saline humic and acid sulphate soils of humid tropical region. Acid sulphate soil has highly acidic pH, high EC, presence of humic (organic) horizon, dominance of sulphate and chloride salts. Substrate soils of different geomorphic regions like riverbank, mudflats and natural levees of Sunderbans are poor in aeration and water holding capacity.
