The aim of this research was to investigate the changes of vegetation and regeneration of plant species in Kassab forests after 1991 fire. The study area is located in the North western part of Syria in the middle of Al-Baier and Al- Bassit forests to the North of Latakia. Thirty five plant surveys (Relevé) were carried out in the study area during 2009 according to Braun-Blanquet method included the burned area and the nearby locations of non-burned forest. By comparing the plant surveys (Relevé), results showed good regeneration of most plant species that were in the study area before the fire. Three forms of vegetation were distinguished in the study area: 1 - The areas where dominance is shared between Pinus brutia Ten. and Quercus cerris L. subsp. pseudocerris (Boiss.) Chalabi. 2 - Areas dominated by Pinus brutia Ten. with accompanying species from Eu-Mediterranean zone and supra Mediterranean zone. 3 – Areas where Pinus brutia Ten. and Quercus cerris L. subsp. pseudocerris (Boiss.) Chalabi are partly or completely absent, and dominated by shrubs and grass species.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التحقيق في التغيرات في الغطاء النباتي وتجديد الأنواع النباتية في غابات كسب بعد حرائق عام 1991. تقع منطقة الدراسة في الجزء الشمالي الغربي من سوريا في وسط غابات الباير والبسيط شمال اللاذقية. تم إجراء خمسة وثلاثين مسحًا نباتيًا في منطقة الدراسة خلال عام 2009 باستخدام طريقة براون-بلانكيه، وشملت المنطقة المحترقة والمواقع المجاورة للغابة غير المحترقة. أظهرت النتائج تجديدًا جيدًا لمعظم الأنواع النباتية التي كانت موجودة في منطقة الدراسة قبل الحريق. تم تمييز ثلاثة أشكال من الغطاء النباتي في منطقة الدراسة: 1- المناطق التي يتشارك فيها كل من الصنوبر البروتي والبلوط السريس في السيطرة. 2- المناطق التي يسيطر عليها الصنوبر البروتي مع الأنواع المصاحبة من المنطقة المتوسطية العليا. 3- المناطق التي يغيب فيها الصنوبر البروتي والبلوط السريس جزئيًا أو كليًا، وتسيطر عليها الشجيرات والأنواع العشبية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لفهم تأثير الحرائق على الغطاء النباتي وتجديد الأنواع النباتية في غابات كسب. ومع ذلك، يمكن أن تكون هناك بعض النقاط التي تستحق النقد. أولاً، الدراسة تعتمد بشكل كبير على طريقة براون-بلانكيه، والتي قد تكون محدودة في قدرتها على تقديم صورة شاملة للتنوع البيولوجي. ثانيًا، لم يتم توضيح تأثير العوامل البيئية الأخرى مثل التغيرات المناخية أو الأنشطة البشرية على تجديد الغطاء النباتي. ثالثًا، كان من الممكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تضمنت تحليلًا طويل الأمد لتغيرات الغطاء النباتي على مدى عدة سنوات بعد الحريق.

The research aimed to study vegetation change detection of Lattakia province by using remote sensing techniques, By applicating Normalized Differences Vegetation Index (NDVI) due to what these techniques had from quickly, accuracy, and completely. In addition to saving efforts and money. that change detection methods have showed by applicating it on Sentinel2 images the plant situation, it's area and distribution in the studied area. In addition to knowing plant's cover changes through time passing. Putting geo databases which benefit in knowing plant situation, and the periodicity supervision for it's changes. The yearly and monthly changes of vegetation cover have been studied in Lattakia province, By making change detection for plants cover of march between (2016-2017). Then making change detection between march and august of 2017. It was observed that there were no big changes, Whether increasing or decreasing for plants cover when studying the yearly changes. While there was big decreasing of plants cover at western plain areas of province when studying the monthly changes between march and august due to raising of temperatures. And big increasing of vegetation in high areas.
The Libyan pastures have been subjected to continuous overgrazing, which inflicts a great deal of damage to the vegetation cover, on both quantitative and qualitative levels, as well as to the live-stock production. To clarify the effect of protection on some characteristics of the natural vegetation cover, two regions have been studied: A protected region and another adjacent unprotected region, which is subjected to irregular grazing.
The landslides and avalanches formations represent serious danger on the constructions. They interfere with Tectonic conditions to constitute a constructive system in some cases. Therefore appear the importance of this study, which focused on the tectonic role of these phenomenon in Al Bassit area, NW. Syria, where different deposits, mostly volcano- sedimentary of Ophiolitic complex. The field executed studies and their analysis have permit to determine the lithological and tectonic factors which have affecting the region. Also the study of slope slip and characterizations have been studied and an important comparative tables are proposed to study globally and locally these landslides, and serve as a model for future studies to prevent the risks of these slips.
This research was conducted in laboratory of Nematology in the Center of Scientific Agricultural Research in Lattakia, to detection of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPNs) in Citrus Orchards soils in Lattakia governorate. A total of 66 composite soil samples were collected from Citrus orchards during (2016- 2017). Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were recovered from soil samples by the insect baiting technique, using seventh instar larvae of the Greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Infective juveniles (IJs) were collected from G. mellonella cadavers using the method of White (1927). EPN isolates were identified based on morphometric methods. Eight isolates were identified as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar 1976 (Ord. Rhabditida: Fam. Heterorhabditidae) . Positive soil samples ratio was 12.12% of total samples, where EPNs isolates were extracted from regions (Al-Bassa, Al-Magreet, Al-Shamia, Gio, Al-Kharnoba, Al-Sorsokia, Fideo, Borj Al-Qasab)0 The soil textures of the EPNs positive samples were (sandy loam, silt loam, loamy sand, loamy clay sand, clay) with ( pH 6.34- :0.5) and (1.99- 4.82) g\100g organic content. The electrical conductivity of the nematode positive soils varied from 0.33 to 0.82 ds/m.
Climate change is the major global challenge facing water resources managers because of its impacts on many life fields beginning with agriculture activities to economic - social regions. In this study, drought in the eastern north of Syria have be en investigated (Hasake, Rakka, DerAzzor, Bokmal, Kameshli) using a set of data containing precipitation data for period from 2000 to 2010, and MODIS time series images for the same period. This study assure that 2008/2009 described as drought period in the study area, and the NDVI maps ,which we have, give us an idea about the vegetation status and patterns in the study area. The study clearly show that NDVI and rainfall was found to be highly correlated in Rakka with P- Value= 0.003; and medium correlated in the other stations with P- Value > 0.05. Results of this study verify needing to use this index (NDVI), along with precipitation data, in drought monitoring in the eastern north region of Syria. So that,. It would help managers in making decisions to face drought in this area.
