%X Water availability and soil physicochemical
properties are the most important factors for the establishment and growth of
plant seedlings in arid and desert areas. Improving water use efficiency and
soil properties are two major factors for sustainable development in these
regions. Therefore, this research aimed to study</span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">the effectiveness of biological hydrogel (b), PLANTBAC vegetation layer
(PB), sand (sa) and barley straw (st) with inter-row system on some soil
properties, including N, Cl, Zn, Fe, clay, silt and sand percentages, </span><span cambria=\"\" math\",\"serif\";font-style:italic;\"=\"\"></span><i><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\" cambria=\"\" math\",\"serif\";\"=\"\">¦Ñ</span></i><i><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\" cambria=\"\" math\",\"serif\";\"=\"\">b</span></i><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;\"></span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">&nbsp;and water use
