Comparison of Some Chemical Properties of Amik, Gavur and Golbasi Lakes Soil’s

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.
