Abstract
Ten soil samples from the Mediterranean region of Turkey were analysed to evaluate the ecology of Campanula species. Most soils in the research area were alkaline and salt content was high. Degrees of saturation were considered normal in all the soil samples and, generally, total nitrogen values were low. For all samples, the total concentration of macro-and micro-elements were determined. There were significant differences in concentration of Mg, P, N in the upper zone of the soils, and in pH, salinity, lime, saturation (%) between species. There were no significant differences in the concentrations of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Na, and Zn between the upper and lower zones.
