To promote the use of poor quality water for irrigation, a field research study was conducted in three semi-arid regions with water scarceness in Syria in order to define, under field conditions, the wheat yield response function to irrigation water salinity, the effect of soil texture and structural characteristics on the irrigation water salinity threshold, and to compare this value with the conventional threshold value.

In this section, we will consider the effects of soil texture and soil nutrient status on decomposition. The initial stages of leaf litter decomposition will be at least partially decoupled from control by edaphic properties of the soil environment. For example, Scott et al. (1996) found that while SOM decomposition varies significantly with soil texture, the CO2 evolution from surface litter does not. However, as partially decomposed litter is incorporated into the soil both through abiotic and biotic means, the physical characteristics of the soil begin to play an important role in the overall degradation and stabilization of the organic inputs. 

The effect of soil properties on the adsorption of substances. Physical and chemical characteristics of adsorbing components in the soil also affect the binding capacity and stability of chemical substances in the soil. The particle size is a further important factor. Colloidal particles exhibit the largest sorption capacity, with a diameter of 10 to 10 mm. The sorption capacity decreases with increasing size, and particles larger than 2 mm in diameter essentially do not affect the soil sorption capacity. From the chemical standpoint the soil sorbents may be divided into two groups ... 

Cultural and climatic conditions have only a moderate effect on the alkaloid content of plants. It is known that the amount of alkaloids in opium varies with the source, but some of this variation is undoubtedly due to varietal differences in the poppies in question. A lone example, frequently cited to illustrate the catastrophic effect of soil or climatic conditions upon the type of alkaloid elaborated, is the California poppy Eschscholtzia calif arnica Cham.). Records show that when this plant was grown in Brittany it yielded but a single base, ionidine, which, if correctly characterized, differed from those bases characteristic of the plant when it is grown in other habitats. In a systematic study of the true species and of cultivated varieties grown both in very rich and very poor soils, the author (unpublished results) failed to detect the presence of ionidine although several new alkaloids were found. 

For the evaluation of the effect of soil, the simplest assumption is to model the soil by a series of equivalent springs whose constants are determined either on the basis of analyses of the behaviour of a rigid solid on an elastic indefinite semispace or by a finite element evaluation of the stiffness characteristics of the soil-structure couple. The first system uses the following formulae for a circular base structure (Petrangeli et al., 1998) ... 

On a larger scale, landscape development reflects those mechanisms that expose bedrock, weather it, and transport the weathering products away. Present and past tectonism, geology, climate, soils, and vegetation are all important to landscape evolution. These factors often operate in tandem to produce characteristic landforms that presumably integrate the effects of both episodic and continuous processes over considerable periods of time.
