The present study aimed to evaluate the ecological and phytosociological status of panicum turgidum under the environmental conditions of the eastern province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 48 stands (each of 25 m2, i.e. 1x25 m) were randomly selected from three locations (Riyadh, Ogair and Damam) which represent the optimum habitat of P. turgidum. The obtained results showed that the dominated plant species associated with P. turgidum were Cyperus conglomertus, Eragrostis barrelieri, Haloxylon persicum, Haloxylon salicornicum, Heliotropium bocciferum, Launaea mucronata, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Monsonia nevia and Plantago ovata. P. turgidum, and is recommended as an important grazing vegetation in deep sand soil. Soil salinity (ECe), soil PH, CaCO3, organic matter, soil texture (Sand %) and soil moisture (FC) were the most limiting soil properties affecting P. turgidum distribution naturally at the studied area.

The present study aimed to evaluate the productinty status of panicum turgidum (Thumam) under the environmental conditions of the eastern province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Forty eight experimental sites (each of 25 m2, i.e. 1*25 m) were randoml y selected from three locations (Roads of Riyadh, Ogair and Damam), which represent the micro-environment of thumam. Obtained results showed that the dominated plant species associated with thumam were Eragrostis barrelieri, Haloxylon salicornicum, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Plantago ovata and Zygophyllum coccineum. The forage production of thumam was 57 kg dry matter/ha. However, the nutrient value of it was relatively low due to the low protein content (4.2 %) and high crude fiber (30.2 %). Moreover, neutral detergent fiber was 62.4 %, acid detergent fiber was 65.4 % and lignin was 11.70 % which indicate low nutritional forage value, compared with traditional forage crops, i.e. Rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana) and Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa). Macronutrient contents (Na, K, Ca and Mg) were in the range of sheep and camel requirements, while P was very low as well as micronutrients (Zn, Cu and Mn).
Many of studies try to analyze the relation between human and environment which divided to physical environment and intellectual environment. Both of them represented the tow environments -Natural and Cultural-. two environments in this thesis wer e not limitation but it’s a potential power. This affective role on the urban designers will create a positive relation between public-private concept and the structure of the urban space. But this relation required being, because the being is structured and that meaning of the single situation consists in its relationship to the general structures.
This study aimed at investigating the image of women in Arabic language and social studies textbooks of primary and middle stages through the roles of women, the different social aspects and social status presented in the textbooks of Arabic langu age and social studies.
This study aimed at investigating the effect of a computerized programme on changing alternative concepts in science among second intermediate grade students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in “motion and sound units”. A puroseful sample of (90) st udents was selected and students were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group which was taught “motion and sound” by the computerized programme, and the control group which was taught the same two units by the traditional method.
This investigation was carried out at the experimental Station of the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, King Saud University, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, during the growing season 2001/2002. The objectives of the research were to study and evaluate the productivity, morphological and physiological behavior of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants grown under palm trees environment. The results proved the important effects of palm trees shading on alfalfa growth, development and productivity. Significant differences were observed between the control treatment and the two other treatments. The results also showed a significant increase in fresh and dry weight and quality characteristics except for fat percentage. This percentage increased gradually from treatment 1, which was located under palm trees, to treatment 2, which was located between palm trees to the control treatment, which was located away from palm trees, where there was no shading. The morphological and physiological characteristics did not significantly change in spite of the existed changes among their means.
