Abstract

Saline weathering leads to many problems, especially in the study area, where the amount of rain is low and insufficient to wash excess salts in sabkha soil. The dry climate of the region helped to increase temperatures and thus increased evaporation rates led to the presence of high concentrations of salts dissolved by groundwater to the pool of salts on the sabkha surfaces and the practice of weathering the marshes granules and sediments to change their formal and volumetric properties. Death and decomposition of saline-loving plants that absorb and store salts in their bodies. They can be utilized after treatment by testing their sediments, then fixing them mechanically or chemically or replacing sabkha soil with dry soil.
