I like this order more, because the soils are basic (closer) and then treeless (more removed). And that is not a textbook explanation of grammar, I must admit. What little I ever knew was forgotten years ago.

Gracias, Patricia.
agree Parrot : basic is an objective adjective; it refers to alcaline content: http://pci204.cindoc.csic.es/tesauros/SpinTes/html/SPI_S20.H...

basic treeless soils

a type of soil which is classified as basic, lacking a number of agriculturally denominated elements and in for this case lacking therefore trees
Peer comment(s):

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : "Basic" is the most restrictive qualifier and should therefore go next to the noun.
