The soliton perturbation theory is used to study the Alfven waves in plasmas that are governed by the derivative nonlinear Schroedinger's equation. The adiabatic parameter dynamics of the solitons in presence of the perturbation terms are obtained. In particular, the nonlinear gain (damping) and the coefficient of finite conductivity are treated as perturbation terms.
