Nutritional value of Juncus acutus in the wetland of Kızılırmak delta

Abstract

Juncus acutus, a wetland plant, helps improve habitats for both terrestrial and aquatic creatures and spawning grounds for fish. A variety of wetland birds use between the trunks of the juncus as a shelter. They also help prevent soil erosion due to their extensive root systems. On the other hand, it can be said that it has a negative effect on the feeding of grassland animals due to the high density in wetlands.
