This study was conducted to evaluation of some marshes soil physical characteristics at south Iraq from studying soil properties and accounting the simple and multiple correlation coefficients and relation equations, from which we can predicted the soil aggregate stability modules of rapture and soil bulk density. Three transacts were chosen, which cover all south Iraqi marshes, with selection of the larger marshes at every transect. The transects are: First toward Amara included marshes of Al-Msendak, Al-Saadiah and Al-Wadiah. Second toward Al- Nasiriah which included the marshes of Delmag, Ghumugaa and Al-hammar. Third toward Samawa which included the marshes of Al- Ramah and Lafti.

Land degradation deteriorates environmental systems and has direct and negative effects on crops yield, pastures and forests. Land degradation is an old phenomenon but in the last years it accelerated and spread widely to reach some interne areas in Syria like the studied area (Blay) which situated on the road of Damascus-Sowyda. In this paper morphological, physio-chemical, hydraulic and fertility study was done to clarify and define the reasons of this degradation in this specified area. Three land sections were done and morphologically described on site, soil samples were taken for analyses in the laboratory. Results showed that, the degradation may be related to different reasons like high apparent density which indicates the soil compacting, the low cation exchange capacity (CEC) and the low hydraulic conductivity with a low percentage of available water. Results also showed that the adding different percentage of soil conditioners, like hay, compost, polymer and manure ameliorates in different ratios the physical and hydraulic properties of soil.
Some magnetic and physical properties ( magnetic susceptibility , intensity of remanent magnetisation , ac current electrical conductivity and density ) of ١٨١ samples from ٣٠ sites of Middle Miocene basaltic rocks (β 1 N2) from Al- Kisweh region south of Damascus were studied, in order to extend the previous study ( Abou-Deeb, ١٩٩٧) to other regions so that these properties might be used as characteristic factors in discriminating the neighbouring basaltic flows .The measurement of the in situ magnetic susceptibility of ٧٥ basaltic sites , distributed on ٨ localities , in the region helped to calculate the mean value of the magnetic susceptibility of each locality and an overall mean value of the whole region, which might be used in any magnetic interpretation of the magnetic anomalies. Also, the density of ١٢٨ samples were measured and a mean value of the density of each locality and an overall mean density were calculated in order to be used in any future interpretation of any gravity anomaly in the region .
The study was carried out at Soil Research Center in the province of Daraa during 2011 in order to study some physical and moisture characteristics for cinnamon soil, which occupies (48000 km²), equivalent to 26% of the area of the Syrian Arab Rep ublic and represents the cultivation of growing field crops with a rainfall ranges between 150- 300 mm. The results showed that the mechanical analysis for soil referred that its texture is clay with a good ability to retain water, the field capacity rated between (30-38.85)%. The studied soil has high value of available water (38.93mm) and useful water (25.69mm) in the surface layer. The highest value of permanent wilting point and hygroscopic moisture was reached in the final depth in studied profile soil, It was also distinguished a high total porosity ranged between 51.78 and 55.59% with a good air porosity amounted to 9.38 - 15.47 % in different depths and with the decline to 5.51 % in the depth 30 - 45cm.
Zooplankton samples were collected seasonally from three stations in the south of Al-Hammar Marshes southern Iraq during the period from January to December 2011, by Plankton net of a mouth aperture of 40 cm and a mesh-size 0.90 mm mounted with a f low meter in the mouth. The results showed that the population density of Cladocera ranged between 79 ind/m3 during winter at station 1 (Al-Mas-hab) and 41971 ind/m3 during spring at station 2 (Hareer). Density of Cladocera was positively correlated with water temperature and to a lesser extent with salinity. About 13 species of Cladocera belonging to 11 genera were recorded at three stations. The high values of diversity were recorded in winter at all stations (1.68, 1.16, and 1.68 respectively) while the lowest values were recorded during spring at all stations (0.06, 0.03, and 0.01 respectively).
This study was conducted during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons in Abu-Jarash orchards area in Damascus to identify the effect of improved organic materials as sludge, manure and compost in improving some soil physical characteristics and whea t productivity. Results showed that the three types of organic material affected the physical characteristics of the studied soil. They decreased its bulk density, increased its total porosity and increased its ability of holding water at field capacity. Results also showed that the compost of city wastes was the best in improving soil physical properties. The three organic materials, particularly the sludge increased the total productivity of wheat (Sham3).
