| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of this work was to study some physiochemical characteristics in salt affected soils collected from Tawrga and Kasher Ahmed regions. The study includes determination of pH, water content, organic matter and some elements content also fungal identification. The obtained results showed that all soil samples were slightly alkaline in reaction and containing low concentration of organic matter 0.802 g – 2.824 g. Soil water content ranged from %29.88 to 45.74%. Soil pH ranged between 7.86 to 7.9 with no appreciable differences between localities. Soil samples differed in their content of elements. Most tested localities contained high amounts of Cl compared to normal soil samples. All tested elements recorded high contents in samples collected from Tawrga. Five genuses belong to five species including yeasts were identified. The most frequent genus was Yeasts from which high number of colonies isolates were detected. In addition Aspergillus were isolated. Aspergillus and Yeasts may be considered one of the resistant fungi to high soil salinity (NaCI) due to its large colonies numbers isolated from these areas. | ||||
