The effect of the climate factor on soil formation and some soil properties in Hauran plateau


Abstract in English

In order to evaluate the important role of climate on soil formation, three different locations (Nawa, Dael and Nasib) in southern part of Syria, representing the North West, Middle and Southern parts of Hauran Plateau were selected and differ mainly in the amount of annual precipitation and relatively with other factors. Three profiles, replicated three times, were prepared one profile for each area.
