What kinds of soils are common in the Kunlun Mountains?

The soil zonation in the Kunlun Mountains is characterized by a simple structure, with steppe soils and desert soils predominating throughout the region. These classifications include soils belonging to the alpine group.1

In general, the organic content of these soils is low. At lower altitudes, the landscape is frequently marked by the presence of bogs, moors, and saline depressions. Additionally, due to the effects of eolian erosion, large sand dunes are commonly found scattered across the area.1
