Özet

In this research, Juncus acutus and Salicornia perennans communities which have different floristic composition and are developing on soils with different salinity degree in Yesilirmak Delta were investigated. The phytosociological properties of the communities were analyzed by Braun-Blanquet method. The effect of edaphic parameters on the communities was determined using ordination techniques (CCA). Galatello pannonicae-Juncetum acuti ass. nov. develops on soils with high EC, while Samolo valerandi-Juncetum acuti Korkmaz et al. Ekoloji 21:64-79, 2012 and Spergulario marinae-Salicornietum perennantis ass. nov. develop on soils which have relatively low EC value. Consequently, the edaphic factors showing variation depending on microtopography have affected the plant community distribution in Yesilirmak coastal wetland sites.
