Desert soils are dry soil with some hot and sandy. Desert soils have low soil moisture that prevents minerals from leaching out of the soils and are only able to support little vegetation due to very high temperatures and lack of water (very low rainfall) in the desert. Desert soils are low in organic matter because there is limited plant remains and any organic matter in the soil are destroyed by the excessive heat at a very high rate.

investigate how Europeans perceive the consequences of massive migration flows in their country and their everyday life. In general, respondents consider the immigration of people outside Europe dangerous for their personal security, as well as a threat for the economy and the culture of their country. More precisely, in the 28 countries sampled, 62% of respondents think that the massive influx of immigrants in their country will increase the threat of terrorism and the crime rates. At the same time, 57% of Europeans believe that non-EU immigration harms the cultural homogeneity of their own country. This result is in line with the data shown by the REScEU Mass Survey conducted in 2016 in six EU member states (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom). Finally, European citizens also worry about the negative economic impact brought by immigration. Almost three respondents out of four (73%) believe that handling immigration poses a huge financial burden for receiving countries. Another 61% of them think that the mass influx of immigrants from outside of the continent set back the EU’s economy.
