Abstract The current study are distinguished by including soils of Wadi El-Arish from its springs to its debouchments and so,important tributaries. The aim of the current study is to evaluate morphological, physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics soils of Wadi El-Arish in the eastern north of Sinai Peninsula. Addition to some tributaries,which effect on it from pedological aspects. On the other hand, classification and quantitative land evaluation of these soils were also carried out. So, suitable suggestion could be attained to help in planning the reclamation processes and to understand how to deal with these soils for agricultural use. The studied area of Wadi El-Arish and its tributaries are located in the eastern north of Sinai, latitudes 29° 50= to 31° 08 N and longitudes 33° 40= to 34° 20= E, and covers an area of about 553660 feddans. Climatic data indicated that the studied area is classified under a torric or aridic soil moisture regime and hyperthermic soil temperature regimes. The water resources are ground water, rainfall and El-Salaam canal.Twenty four soil profiles were suited and examined to represent the different characteristics of the studied area. These profiles were morphologically described, sampled and subjected to the different physical, chemical and mineralogical properties determinations. |
