Light soils have lower water retention capacity, making them more susceptible to drought conditions as they cannot retain moisture for extended periods, leading to faster soil drying and increased stress on crops.

Light soils have low water-holding capacity due to their high sand content, making them vulnerable to drought. Their porous structure allows water to drain quickly, leaving little moisture for plants during dry periods. This exacerbates the impact of drought, leading to reduced plant growth and crop yield.
