Abstract
The island of Apid was most probably formed during the Upper Pleistocene as a barrier reef resting on volcanic rock. Two main types of soil can be found there: Rendzic Leptosols in the rocky interior and Arenosols on the sandy beach. Soil samples taken on the island showed low nutrient contents and a very low capacity to store plant-available water. Therefore, conditions for agricultural land-use are not very favorable.
