Answer:

Sandy soil or Coarsely Textured Soils

Step-by-step explanation:

All soils that have high amount of sand (sandy soil) or the one which have coarse texture are poor in organic matter retention and thus have low organic matter content. These soils are highly permeable and thus are unable to hold soil moisture and organic matter.

On the other hand they have rich salt content because they are in touch with salty water of sea or oceans.
