Abstract EN

The remote sensing techniques of weather and air sights are considered one of the most important ways in gathering natural givings and watching il<> progression, and in putting the growing programs, planning, and managing.

However, the remote sensing is characterized with a huge quantity of information in a remarkable time with a little cost in comparison with classical ways.

The benefit, the information, and the capaity of explaining the weather sights increase when the givings of the remote sensing contact with the local studies and field scanning.

On the other hand, all estimations conclude the danger of soil loss in coastal areas.

Many of these areas become a subject to erosion and consequently to the loss.

This erosion is enhanscd by many factors such as the intensive explotation of agricultural land, the forest land cultivation, the vegitative cover shrinkage and the dominance of some unfavorable factors such as high stops and heavy rainfall.

B\ considering the weather sights about 1/50000 measurement and by the help of tebografic, geological, and basic maps, also by the help of local studies and field scanning, a classification of soils in Lattakia has been put regarding erosion intensity.

Lattakia land was dcvided into 5 classes according to its vulnerability to erosion and to its vegitative cover: 1 - Very high erosion: Various types oferosion are visible, no vegitative cover and the stop in high.

2 - High erosion: Erosion is visible of continuous, the ratio of vegitativ e cov er is no more than 25% and the sloppy is high.

3 - Medium erosion: Erosion is continuous, the ratio of vegitative cover is about 25 - 50% and the sloppy is medium.

4 - Low erosion: Erosion is occasional, the ratio of v egitative cover is about 50 - 75% and the slopee is low to medium.

5 - No erosion: Erosion is absent, the ratio of vegitative cover is over 75% and the land is fiat or sloppy.
