| Abstract | ||
| Two agricultural districts were chosen: 5 Al-Nassaf and 17 Al-Bushjal, located on both banks of the Euphrates River, during which a semi-detailed survey was carried out using the grid soil survey method. The locations of the pedons representing the soil of the region, which amounted to (10) pedons, were determined at a rate of 5 pedons for each district to study the variations occurring in some chemical soil characteristics (electrical conductivity, degree of interaction, calcium carbonate, gypsum, cation exchange capacity, percentage of adsorbed sodium, and percentage of exchanged sodium). The results of the study showed that the soil of the pedons region is characterized by variations in some chemical soil characteristics in the vertical direction. Organic matter was the most variable among the characteristics in District 17 of Bushjal, with a coefficient of variation (192.02%), while in the percentage of gypsum, 5 Al-Nassaf district was the most variable, with a coefficient of variation of (105.4%). In contrast, Bushjal district 17 excelled in chemical characteristics (electrical conductivity, degree of reaction, calcium carbonate, exchange rate of sodium, exchange capacity for positive ions, with a coefficient of variation (92.62, 5.68, 9.31, and 22.87%), respectively. | ||
