Abstract
The aim of this paper is to deal with syntaxonomical and ecological characteristics of Tamarix smyrnensis communities developed on both salt marsh and riparian habitats of the Yeşilırmak Delta Plains. The floristic composition of the communities was analysed by Braun-Blanquet method and the effect of edaphic parameters on the communities were determined using ordination techniques (CCA). The habitat types were identified according to the European Nature Information System (EUNIS) habitat coding list. Junco acuti-Tamaricetum smyrnensis ass. nov. developed on salt marshes and belonging to the alliance of Tamaricion tetragynae, and Tamaricetum tetrandrae-smyrnensis ass. nov. developed on meander banks/river island (eyot) and belonging to the alliance of Rubo sancti—Nerion oleandri distributed under influence of electrical conductivity (EC) of soil. Additionally, it was observed that both associations belonged to subunits of Mediterraneo-Macaronesian tamarisk thickets according to EUNIS.
