Abstract:

 The physical characteristics, soil structure, vegetation, climatic conditions, and geological structures of the floating islands in Işıklı Lake, Saklıgöl, and Karagöl located within the borders of Denizli province were examined. Additionally, the effects of environmental factors on the chemical and biological properties of these lakes were investigated. According to the research findings, 11 different benthic invertebrate species were identified. While the water quality of Işıklı Lake and Karagöl was evaluated as Good, Saklıgöls water quality was measured at a Moderate level. Habitats such as mud, algae, moss, and macrophytes stand out in the lake areas. The relationship between temperature and dissolved oxygen levels was examined, revealing that increasing water temperature reduces dissolved oxygen levels. There were variations in ammonium nitrogen content in the examined lakes, indicating the significant impact of agricultural activities, particularly in Işıklı Lake and Saklıgöl. Karagöls lower ammonium nitrogen content demonstrates the influence of environmental factors. The correlation between lake areas and environmental factors was emphasized, highlighting the impact of wind on the vegetation of floating islands. This study contributes to the understanding and preservation of the ecological and environmental structures of lakes in Denizli.

 Denizli ili sınırları içinde yer alan Işıklı Gölü, Saklıgöl ve Karagölde bulunan yüzen adaların fiziksel özellikleri, toprak yapısı, bitki örtüsü, iklim koşulları ve jeolojik yapıları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca çevresel faktörlerin bu göllerin kimyasal ve biyolojik özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, 11 farklı bentik omurgasız türü belirlenmiştir. Işıklı Gölü ve Karagölün su kalitesi İyi olarak değerlendirilirken, Saklıgölün su kalitesi Orta seviyede ölçülmüştür. Göl alanlarında çamur, alg, yosun, makrofit gibi habitatlar öne çıkmaktadır. Sıcaklık ve çözünmüş oksijen seviyeleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş, göl sularının artan sıcaklığının çözünmüş oksijen seviyelerini düşürdüğü gözlemlenmiştir. Amonyum azotu içeriği incelenen göllerde farklılık göstermiş, tarımsal faaliyetlerin özellikle Işıklı Gölü ve Saklıgölde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Karagölün ise daha düşük amonyum azotu içeriğine sahip olması çevresel faktörlerin etkisini göstermektedir. Göl alanlarının çevresel faktörlerle olan ilişkisi vurgulanmış, rüzgârın yüzen adaların bitki örtüsü üzerinde etkili olduğu belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Denizlideki göllerin ekolojik ve çevresel yapılarının anlaşılmasına ve korunmasına katkı sağlamaktadır.
