Abstract

In
this study, were carried out the chemical and total elemental analyses of the
wetlands, Amik, Gavur and Golbasi Lakes. Amik Lake has a higher level of
degradation and mineralization than the other two lakes. Therefore, the high pH
and salt value of the plain soil caused the proportions of calcium carbonate
and active crime in the soil to increase, the organic matter level and the
altitude to be low. The salinity of the soil is less in the Golbasi Lakes. It
is related to geological location and land use as it is related to less
degradation of area land. Gavur Lake caused more soil organic matter content to
remain under water due to inadequate drainage conditions. The presence of
limestone and serpentine as a dominant cation of convertible calcium and
magnesium in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, the material transported by the
surface waters of the rains falling to the region was considered as the main
factor in increasing the concentrations of calcium and magnesium in the lake
areas. Golbasi Lake has lower sodium adsorption rate values than the soil of Gavur
and Amik Lake soil, it can be said that the degradation of the soil is less and
it is the result of the effect of the parent material in the region. In the
results of the chemical analysis of three wetlands, Al₂O₃
and SiO₂ were hight found to be insoluble and resistant oxides,
elements such as CaO, MgO and Na₂O are soluble and mobile elements,
it was obtained as a result of this study that the soil is at high levels.
