The Quaternary succession occurs in clear river terraces, on several levels, adjacent to the modern Euphrates.

Conversely, a drop in major nutrient (SiO4) levels could be observed during the dry season, when diatoms (Bacillariophyceae and Coscinodiscophyceae) flourish and deplete silica concentration during the dry season [65]. During the wet season, a strong negative correlation was observed between the...
