Abstract

Fruit trees, including grape trees, are important food sources for humans and an important pillar of the important national income, whether in Iraq or elsewhere. Our study took the geographical distribution of grape trees as a scientific problem that tries to reveal the nature of their distribution and to indicate the natural and human geographical factors that affect their variation. The spatial study in the regions of the study area at the level of administrative units, and the study reached through following the steps of the geographical scientific approach, whether the descriptive or analytical approach, to a number of conclusions, in an attempt to prove the validity of the research hypothesis. The study was able to explain the spatial variation in the light of its relationship to natural and human factors.
