| Abstract | ||||
| The present study attempts to throw light on the limiting parameters in soil and water controlling the presence of the fern Adiantum capillus veneris L. in EL- Sharkyia and South Sinai governorates in Egypt. To achieve this purpose, twenty-seven soil and water samples sites support this fern distribution in nine regions in two governorates, namely EL-Sharkyia and South Sinai. In the present study, 13 parameters, including pH, TDS, EC, water-soluble cations (Na+, K+, Ca++, and Mg++), water-soluble anions (CO3--, HCO3-, Cl2 and SO4--), organic matter and calcium carbonate were measured. While, eleven parameters only in water samples were studied. The present study revealed that the limiting parameters in water are Cl-, SO4— (except EH and EE), Ca++, and Mg++. While in soil (plate 4), One can conclude that the limiting parameters are organic matter, Cl-, SO4—, K+, Mg++, and Ca++ (except KG). | ||||
