ABSTRACT This research was aimed to know the chemical characteristics of the soil and its relationship with the behaviour of some elements in El Kawamel - Sohag - Egypt. Therefore, seventeen soil samples were collected representing six profiles representing the study area. The results showed that: - The texture of the soil in El Kawamel soil is sandy in all soil samples. The cation exchange capacity ranged from 4.2 to 5.9 Cmol_cKg^-soil .The soil pH ranged from 7.61 to 8.79 (alkaline to slightly alkaline), therefore the electrical conductivity ranged from 0.15 to 6.97 dS/m at 25⁰C. The total calcium carbonate content ranged from 10.46 to 46.85 gKg^-1.In addition the order of the soluble cations content was as follows: Sodium > Calcium > Magnesium > Potassium. The soluble anions content was arranged as follows: - Sulphate > Chloride > Bicarbonate, while the carbonate anion was absent. The results also showed that the total content of some of the microelements were as follows: Iron > manganese > zinc > lead > nickel > copper. while the chemically extracted microelements content were as follows : - Iron > manganese > zinc > copper > nickel > lead.
