| Abstract | ||
| What is meant by Soil erodability by wind is the quantity of dust that may be annually carried from earth surface. It can be considered as a measure of the intensity of soil erosion. In Wassit governorate, however, the ratio differs from one place to another. This is affributable to the content of the surface layer. Erosion – resistant groups which are more than one millimeter in diameter have reached 0,82 ton/hectare/year in the surface layer in Al Azizia district. As regards, sand mounds in Sheikh Sa'ad and Numania have no soil dust, and the groups 81,65 ton/hectare/year. This indicates that the surface layer of the soil in Wassit is exposed to wind erosion at different degrees which have ecological and economic consequences. This involves the necessary measures to be taken to combat soil erosion by wind. | ||
