Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015
and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the
effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4
-,
PO4
-3, NO3
-, NO2
-
, NH4
+ ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected
by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and
ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest
concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The
results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of
phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that
phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that
nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN
revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.
general study of counted Bacteria and Chlorophyll a Give us an initial picture to the environment safety and vitality of marine environmental, which constitutes one of the basic components. In this paper, we show the most important results related to
horizontal and vertical changes of temperature and counted Bacteria, the concentrations of dyes Chlorophyll a,phaeophytine and relationships between them to depth of 300 m. The study showed a high degree in deep-water temperature reached to about two degrees in recent decades. as well as significant decrease in counted Bacteria (800 - 12750CFU / 100 ml) and dyes Chlorophyll a (under detection threshold - 0.24 mg / l) and phaeophytine (under the detection threshold - 0.064 mg / l), which refers to the weakness in the wild tributaries and low nutrients that reaches to the beaches and marine wealth , which reflect the negative impacts on marine environment.
This research aims at studying the effect of irrigation with different levels of NaCl on
the growth and development of Syrian pears (Pyrus syriaca). The results showed that:
1. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll content (a,b and a+b) in salt treatment
s compared to
the control , which contained 67.48 mg/g (a), 111.62 mg/g (b) and 204.76 mg/g (a+b),
while 1750 ppm of NaCl treatment contained 49.34 mg/g (a), 49.86 mg/g (b) and 158.77
mg/g (a+b) respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm of NaCl increased significantly
chlorophyll content compared to other salt treatments.
2. Leaves content of proline increased with increasing NaCl levels. It reached 870.8
ng/g when irrigation water contained 1250 ppm of NaCl, while it decreased in other salt
treatments. Leaves dry matter increased with the increase salt levels (24.50% for the
control, and 44.86% for 1750 ppm of NaCl).
