Evaluation of Eber Lake (Afyonkarahisar) macrophytes in terms of restoration ecology

In this research, some physical and chemical parameters of the soil and water properties of Lake Eber and the Phragmites australis species in Lake Eber were evaluated in terms of restoration ecology. In this context, physical and chemical analyzes of soil samples taken from 5 different locations on the shore of Eber Lake were made. The average pH value of the soil samples was determined as 7.54, the salt (%) value was 0.53, the lime value was 23.94%, the organic matter % value was 16.21, and the phosphorus value was 28.72, and the potassium value was 314.6. According to this, it was determined that the soil structure of Eber Lake is heavy clay, salty, and calcareous, with a very high value in terms of organic matter, phosphorus, and potassium. Average pH value of water samples taken from 4 different locations of the lake is 8.63, sodium value is 33 me/l, potassium value is 2.5 me/l, boron value is 0.6815 me/l, Ca+Mg value is 5.1 me/l, carbonate value is 2.34me/l, bicarbonate value is 8.57 me/l, chlorine value is 14.17 me/l, sulfate value is 15.55 me/l, RSC value is 5.77 me/l, SAR value is 20.8 me/l. Eber Lake water is alkaline and has good electrical conductivity, sulfate, chlorine, and RSC values are very high within the scope of analysis. On the other hand, SAR, boron, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium parameters were recorded within standard criteria. With the current data obtained, contributions have been made to the identification and protection of the bioecological features of Lake Eber.
