A STUDY OF CHARACTERISTICS SOILS FORMED ON GYPSUM PARENT MATERIAL IN THE COASTAL REGION (LATTAKIA- SYRIA)

The aim of this research is to identify the properties soils formed on a material gypsum origin under conditions coastal region through case study profile representative these soils, due narrow area in which rocks are exposed and similarity characteristics over entire explorations. morphological description soil samples were taken from each horizon according approved methodological foundations, consequences showed that early levels development Gypsum rocks, rocky most parts, poorly developed, has weakness leaching process. percentage silt extended along horizons section. As for clay, its AC became 34.8% compared relaxation horizons, but it isn't always sort transported share SO3 N2O3% appreciably, at same time as iron aluminum oxides reduced, indicators purity constituent an impurity accompanying rock, that's crucial financial indicator business factor view.
