دراسة خصائص التربة الفيزيائية بالمنطقة الساحلية بمحافظة حضر موت-اليمن

Abstract EN

A Soil collection was conducted along the Hadhramaut coast from (7) districts, with an estimated distance of 220 km, the study area is characterized by hardness of the land and dry climate.

Auger was used to process 350 soil samples taken from different depths and physically analyzed to study the physical variables measured in the soil: pH, moisture content, total dissolved salts (TDS) and, electrical conductivity (EC).

The results of physical analysis of the surface and depth of the soil showed that variable values are ranging as follows: pH (7.7 - 6.8 pH), moisture content (2.9% - 21.3), total dissolved salts (mg/L 5490 -1301), electrical conductivity (13.32 - 1.79 ds m-1).

It should be noted that these qualities are controlled by the type of soil, its composition and its distance from the coast, the further away from the coast, the lower the salinity.

The values of all the qualities analyzed fall within the limits permitted and determined by WHO.
