One of the most important ancient settlements in the Syrian desert is [[Palmyra]]; first mentioned in the second millennium BC, the city was an important trading center in [[Roman Empire|Roman times]], and its people were renowned merchants who took advantage of its strategic position on the silk road linking the far east to the mediterranean, by taxing passing by caravans, establishing colonies on the silk road, and trading in the rare commodities from the far east, thus bringing enormous wealth to their city. The city's people were a combination of [[Arameans]], [[Amorites]] and [[Arabs]].

Sirijska pustinja na topografskom zemljovidu

Sirijska pustinja (arapski: بادية الشام, Bādiyat al-Shām), poznata i kao Sirijska stepa, Jordanska stepa ili Badia,[1] je regija pustinja, polupustinja i stepa koje pokriva 500.000 km2 Bliskog istoka, uključujući dijelove Sirije, sjeveroistočnog Jordana, sjeverne Saudijske Arabije i zapadnog Iraka. Pokriva 85 % površine Jordana[2] i 55 % Sirije.[3] Na jugu se stapa s Arabijskom pustinjom.[4] Ovo područje reljefno je otvoreno, kameno, mjestimice ispresijecano s vadijima.[5][6][7][8]

Lokacija i ime

Pustinja je omeđena Dolinom rijeke Orontes i vulkanskim područjima Harrat al-Shama prema zapadu, te Eufratom na istoku. Na sjeveru, pustinja se pretvara u plodnija travnata područja, dok se na jugu pretapa u Arabijsku pustinju.[5]

Prema nekim izvorima, Sirijska pustinja i "Pustinja Hamad" su sinonimi[9], dok drugi izvori ime Hamad vežu za južnu središnju visoravan[10], dok neki cijelu regiju nazivaju Hamad, a Sirijsku pustinju izjednačavaju s njenim sjevernim dijelom.[11] Neki dijelovi Sirijske pustinje imaju zasebna imena, pa se tako područja oko gradova Palmire i Homsa poknekad nazivaju Palmirska pustinja ili Homska pustinja.[12] Istočni dio Sirijske pustinje, u području sirijsko-iračke granice, tj. na zapadu Iraka, se u Iraku ponekad naziva Zapadna pustinja.[13][14]

Sirijska pustinja

Sirijska pustinja je poznata i pod nazivom Shamiyah.[15] te Badiyat al-Sham (ili Badiyat ash-Sham)[14][13]

Zemljopis

U središtu pustinje nalazi se plato Hamad, regija na nadmorskoj visini između 700 i 900 m n/m, ravna, kamena polupustinja od vapnenačkog tla s rožnjačkim šljunkom. Ono malo kiše što padne na plato otiče u lokalne slane ravnice (Sabkha). Najveći vrhovi na platou su Khawr um Wual u Saudijskioj Arabiji (oko 1000 m/nm) i Jebel Aneiza (960 m/nm) na tromeđi Jordana, Iraka i S. Arabije[16][17]

Zajedno s pustinjama Arapskog poluotoka, ova je pustinja opisana kao jedna od najsuših pustinja na svijetu.[18]

Živi svijet

Neke od biljaka Sirijske pustinje su Salsola vermiculata, Stipa barbata, Artemisia herba-alba i Atriplex leucoclada.[1] Pustinjski ekosustav je ugrožen sušom, pretjeranom ispašom, lovom i drugim ljudskim aktivnostima. Neke autohtone životinje više ne žive u ovom području, a mnoge cvjetnice su izumrle, te zamijenjene travama s nižom prehrambenom vrijednošću za stoku.[19]

Sirijska pustinja je postojbina sirijskog hrčka.[20]

Rode, čaplje, ždralovi, manje barske ptice, patkarice, kao i grabežljivci posjećuju sezonska jezera. Mali su glodavci uobičajeni, kao i njihovi grabežljivci kao što su zmije, Škorpioni i lažni pauci. U prošlosti su tu boravili i gazele, vukovi, čagljevi, lisice, mačke i karakali, nojevi, čite, Alcelaphus buselaphus i kulan. Veći sisavci se više ne mogu naći, a vjeruje se da je to posljedica lova od strane ljudi.[5][15]

Povijest

Antičko doba

Palmira je bila važno trgovačko središte smješteno u samom središtu pustinje.

Pustinja je od pradavnih vremena bila naseljena beduinskim plemenima, a mnoga od tih plemena i danas žive u njoj, uglavnom u gradovima i naseljima pokraj oaza. Neki se Beduini i danas pridržavaju načina života.

Moderna povijest

Gospodarstvo i poljoprivreda

Uz niske oborine i slabu kvalitetu tla, područje se uglavnom koristi za ispašu stoke. beduinski pastiri, od kojih mnogi još uvijek žive kao nomadi, uzgajaju oko 12 milijuna ovaca i koza, kao i manji broj deva.[21]

Međunarodni fond za poljoprivredni razvoj, koji ima za cilj ublažavanje ruralnog siromaštva, godine 1995. je u suradnji sa sirijskom vladom pokrenuo je projekt rehabilitacije više od milijun hektara degradirane zemlje u sirijskoj Badiji. U nekim je područjima, kad je paša bila ograničena, došlo do spontanog povratka mnogih autohtonih biljaka. U ostalim područjima koja su bila znatno degradirana, ograničenja ispaše dopunjena su ponovnim sjetvom i sadnjom krmnih vrsta. Do trenutka završetka projekta 2010. godine zasađeno je gotovo četvrt milijuna hektara, a zasađeno je gotovo stotinu tisuća hektara domaćim krmnim grmljem. Rezultat je bio velik uspjeh, jer su neki stočari prijavili desetostruko povećanje produktivnosti stoke.[21]
