Early work by Howard and Bouyoucos suggested that drying could have a stimulatory effect on plant growth. The author examines this idea, starting with physical changes that occur in the soil due to drying and sunlight. The author also analyzes chemical and biological changes caused by drying and ultraviolet radiation, including the availability of plant nutrients and the activity of microorganisms in the soil. The author concludes that drying and sunlight can have a significant impact on soil fertility and crop production, and that these factors should be considered when managing agricultural soils in arid regions.
