Abstract

This study was conducted in Tikrit to compared between the plants used in decorating the sides of roads and public parks according to their ability to withstand the conditions of industrial acid rain in order to recommend them in afforestation industrial parks and areas of traffic density. Where different concentrations of industrial acidic rain were used (pH2, pH4, Ph6 and pH7.2) as well as five common plant species used for landscaping and road sides aspects (Calistemon viminalis  ,Nerium oleander, Olea europaea L , Myrtus communis , Dodonaea viscosa Linn).
