Book Description

The Iraqi marshlands known as Al-Ahwar in Arab are a unique region that harbors unspoilt nature covering more than 20000 square kilometers of land. They are also home to a more than 5000 year ancient civilization and rich biodiversity. The Ahwar of Iraq is commonly referred to as the Garden of Eden or Cradel of civilization due to its socio-cultural and environmental importance. It is also considered one of the largest water ecosystem in the middle east. It is located in the triangle between Amara, Dhi-Qar (Nasriya) and Basrah provinces at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in southern Iraq.

The marshes of southern Iraq were once considered the breadbasket of the area and supported a population of over 500000 people. It is home to hundreds species of Birds, fish and plants.

This book is dependent largely on the unpublished PhD thesis of Al-Hilli 1977 who provided a detail description of the aquatic plant communities of the marshes and the surrounding areas, Al-Mayah 1978, 1983 who added new records and provided a survey for aquatic plants in Iraq. Others were also consulted such as Alwan 2006, who provided a comparison between the past and present status of the aquatic plants of southern Iraq.

The aim of this book is to provide a historical database for the flora of the marshlands of southern Iraq and surrounding areas to be a historical reference for the marshes restoration in the future.

The book includes: historical and environmental background; phytogeography, ecology and distribution, floristic composition of the plant recorded in the Ahwar region; habitat and communities characteristics of the wetland plants, and the semi-desert plants and zonation and vegetation belt.
