Resumo

The footslope in between Alhama mountain rouge and Zafarraya polje could be considered as an incipient glacis which shows soil with an inherited morphology from the parent material developing over it. Soils are mainly Gleysols and Regosols, with or without carbonates, clayed and with a strong consistence; these characteristics asociated to relief are the justification of the high erodibility index and the excigence of a serious arranging to be farmerly used. With the fisiographic position and own edaphic nature given, even the land use could be in order to store rainfall water for irrigation. For genetical studies, these are low developed soils and the most significant thing in their evolution is the inherated clay transformation (illite-interstratified-smectite).
