Özet: In this study, the less known physical, chemical and anatomical adaptation mechanisms of plants which have lived in gypsiferous soils and their effects on the distribution of communities were explained. Soils with high gypsum content support specific vegetation, indicating a habitat to which gypsophile plants have adapted. Gypsum soils are a specific physical and chemical environment for plant life. In this review, it was first described the physical and chemical properties of gypsum soils, then summarized the physical, chemical and anatomical adaptation mechanisms of gypsophily in plants and it was finished the review by providing an overview of the distribution of communities on gypsum substrates.
