This research aims at evaluating the effect of fire on the erosion of burned forest soils after rainfall. The research was carried out during (2010/2011) in a pine forest near the village of Ein Al-Jaouz at an altitude of 900m, north east Tartous governorate. The forest had a fire in October 2009. Ten metal plots (2m2 each plot) were used to evaluate soil erosion, five plots in the burned part of the forest and another five plots in the unburned part. The runoff coefficient, soil erosion rate, soil pH and rate of some mineral elements (Ca++, K+ , Mg++) were estimated and compared in the two parts. This study showed that the runoff coefficient was three times as great on the burned part as on the unburned part, and the rate of soil erosion was 7.22 Mg/ha in the burned part and 0.1Mg/ha in the unburned part. This shows the impact of fire in increasing soil erosion and runoff. This study also showed the difference in cation concentrations in the runoff water between the two parts. The study reveals the importance of protecting forests against fire. This is to limit soil erosion and its economic and environmental consequences.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم تأثير الحرائق على انجراف التربة وفقدان بعض العناصر المعدنية منها في غابة عين الجوز بمحافظة طرطوس. تم تنفيذ البحث خلال العام 2010-2011 في غابة من الصنوبر البروتي التي تعرضت لحريق في أكتوبر 2009. استخدمت الدراسة أحواض معدنية لتقدير انجراف التربة، حيث وضعت خمسة منها في الجزء المحروق وخمسة أخرى في الجزء غير المحروق. أظهرت النتائج أن معامل الجريان السطحي في الجزء المحروق بلغ ثلاثة أضعاف قيمته في الجزء غير المحروق، وأن معدل انجراف التربة بعد الحريق وصل إلى 7.22 طن/هكتار مقابل 0.1 طن/هكتار في الجزء غير المحروق. كما أظهرت الدراسة اختلافات في تراكيز الكاتيونات القاعدية في المياه المتجمعة بين الجزأين. تؤكد الدراسة على أهمية دور الغطاء النباتي في حماية التربة من الانجراف وما يترتب عليه من خسائر بيئية واقتصادية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تقدم هذه الدراسة فهماً جيداً لتأثير الحرائق على انجراف التربة وفقدان العناصر المعدنية، ولكن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل تضمين فترة زمنية أطول للمراقبة بعد الحريق للحصول على بيانات أكثر شمولية. ثانياً، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى تأثيرات الحرائق على التنوع البيولوجي في المنطقة. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن استخدام تقنيات تحليلية أكثر تطوراً لتحديد تركيزات العناصر المعدنية بشكل أدق. على الرغم من هذه النقاط، فإن الدراسة تقدم مساهمة قيمة في فهم تأثير الحرائق على النظم البيئية الحراجية في المنطقة الساحلية السورية.

The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of slope position on some soil physico-chemical properties .The study was conducted on a pine forest soil , Tartous. Soil samples were collected from top , mid and bottom slope positions at hor izon- A and C of top and mid slope positions and at horizon A,(B)and C of bottom slope positions . Results showed a significant difference among the physico-chemical properties of top , mid and bottom slope soils . Bulk density of the top - slope (1.34 gcm-3) was the highest followed by mid ( 1.31 gcm-3) and bottom slopes (1.27 g cm-3) .Conversely ,Organic matter content (2.86%) ,electrical conductivity EC(0.20mmos/cm) , calcium(28.3 meq/100g) , magnesium(6.80 meq/100g) , Potassium (0.21 meq/100g), Soil pH ( 7.95) , clay content (38.43 %) and silt content (34.70%) were the highest at bottom slope followed by mid and top- slopes , respectively . Soil A and C horizon of top and mid slope positions and A ,(B)and C horizons of bottom slope positions were also significantly different in their physical and chemical properties . Horizon A had the highest organic matter ,electrical conductivity , calcium , magnesium , silt contents and lower bulk density,CaCO3, sand contents than both the (B) and C horizons of bottom slope and the C horizon of top and mid slope .The deterioration in physico-chemical properties of top slope as compared to mid and bottom slopes and that of A horizon as compared to C horizons were presumed to be due to past soil erosion effect that removed the finer soil particles including soil organic matter and other plant nutrient.
The reasearch was carried out during 2009 – 2010 in Al – Hasaka – Amoda - to study the effect of cattle manure at the rat of 30 ton / ha , and four organic green manure ( Lentil, Vetch, Faba bean and Barely) on soil content of organic matter and so me mineral elements compared with chemical fertilizer 400 kg / ha urea , 83 kg / ha P2O5 and 25 kg / ha K2O . The manure significantly increased organic matter , phosphorus and potassium concentrations compared with other fertilizers ( chemical and green fertilizers ) . All green fertilizers ( Lentil , Vetch , Faba bean and Barely ) significantly increased organic matter , nitrogen and potassium concentration compared with the control without using any fertilizer , the tillage depth ( 0 – 10 ) cm significantly increased soil content of organic matter and nitrogen compared with deeper tillage ( 25 – 30 ) cm during the two seasons .
The research was performed during the three years from 2011 in the coastal area “Lattakia and Tartous” The study of soil erosion has been traced in eight occasional sites in the coastal area, Gradient in its slope degree from 10% to 45% . the eight sites has also been studied under the three systems “Forests, burned forests , planted soil” The results shows, that the dangerous of the Water erosion in the coastal area soils especially in the slopes that is more than 15%, the drift reached scary figures that ranged between 32.5 ton/Hectares when the slope was 10%, and 165 ton/hectares when the slope was 45% in the agricultural system (Where the surface of the soil is semi-disgrace), These amounts ranged between 9 and 56.5 t / hectares/year in the burned forest system and between 1.4 and 15 t / hectares/year in the forest system. The runoff of rain water may range between 24 and 59.20 in the forest system versus 6.8 and 32.8 in the burned forest systems and, finally, between 2.9 and 16.8 in the forest system.
The aim of this study was to determine some physical, chemical properties and microbiological density (fungi –bacteria) of a Pine forest soil in the coastal region (Mehwarti forest, Banias), where Pinus brutia is the main dominant plant. Three soi l profiles were carried out and their morphological characteristics were determined, the thickness of accumulated organic residues and GPS data were also recorded. For physical and chemical analysis, samples from each profile horizon were taken and air- dried, whereas for the microbial diversity analysis, samples were taken twice in autumn and spring, and transported and stored at 4C. The results showed that the studied soil belongs to Alfisol Order with A -Bt – C profile types. Our results also showed that the soil depth was (85-100cm) and the texture was clay with a high porosity in all studied soil horizons. The content of calcium carbonate in the studied horizons was closely similar and increased with soil depth, whereas the pH ranged between 6.8 and 7.9. The results indicated that the organic matter decreased significantly with soil depth that affected the microorganisms density which behave in the same manner. This decreas was very clear in the first horizon especially in spring.
Brutia pine tree grows radially and gives one ring per year, the width of this ring is determined by environmental conditions especially by climatic ones. Dendroclimatology concerns with studying the response of tree rings to climatic conditions. In order to study the radial growth of brutia pine planted 1975 in Heir Brafa, Tartous, Syria.
