The successful management of plant natural resources in arid and semi- arid lands requires the inclusion of soil water evaporation into the decision-making process. This research was aimed to estimate evaporation on areas with a reforestation of aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill) at different plantation ages (6, 11 and 15 years old) during the four seasons (1994-1995). Also, weather variables were observed on their influence to soil water evaporation. Measurements were made during seven days, each season, by using microlysimeters in soil samples totally water saturated. Evaporation quantifications were very similars for sities practiced during spring, summer and fall; figures were 8 to 11 mm for first day and 1 to 2 mm the seventh day, however, the winter season quantities were lower than those during the first five days, but higher than the last two trial days. Soil water evaporation had affected mainly by year seasons and the weather conditions of relative humidity, wind velocity, temperature and solar radiation.
