STEP 1

Land

The soils of the Daunian sub-Apennines, which originated in the Miocene in the belt comprising the medium and low hills, are called the "Daunia Formation" and derive from a very varied substrate, including, among other things, breccias and limestone-organogenic breccias, clays and silty marls, compact or mealy whitish limestones and other areas, formed in the Pliocene and Quaternary, also present a considerable variability of substrate. The soils have a texture ranging from clayey to sandy with a more or less high presence of limestone skeleton; in areas where clay is predominant, frequent movements and landslides of the slopes occur.
