“…Evaporation of water at the soil surface then resulted in salt accumulation, especially in the upper 15 cm. A similar situation has been reported in many other studies at other saline habitats close to the sea (Schofield and Kirkby, 2003;Özcan et al, 2009). In the Kavak Delta area, the soil salinity values varied over a large range, between 5 and 135 dS m -1 , making them all saline and above the level of ≥4 dS m -1 set by the International Soil Salinity Laboratory (Richards, 1954).…”

“…The main determinant influencing the presence of salinity in the studied area can be ascribed to the phenomenon of capillary rise, as well as the process of soil surface water evaporation, which subsequently led to the deposition of salts (Schofield and Kirkby, 2003;Özcan et al, 2009). It is of interest to denote that in the present study, the areas closest to the shoreline (> 1000 m) which represent the coastal salt marshes have the lowest soil salinity compared to the inland saltmarshes where the wind speed ranged from 4.11 to 4.58 m/s.…”

“…They play vital roles in regulating regional water regimes, softening the climate, and improving water quality by the retention of toxic substances, in addition to sustaining a rich wildlife, particularly of water birds. Furthermore, they contribute to the regional and national economy through the provision of fishing, hunting, rush processing, and tourism (Gündoğdu et al 2005 ; Özcan et al 2009 ).…”
