Abstract The present study provides a detailed description of natural vegetation of the Deltaic Mediterranean Coast of Egypt. Also shed light on the fungal population of the most dominant associated in rhizosphere plant species of the study area with studying the phytochemical analyses of these species by examining the chemical composition of the rhizosphere of those species which have role in soil reclamation. The salt marsh habitat type showed that sand, total nitrogen, clay, potassium adsorption ratio, sodium adsorption ratio and carbonate were the most effective soil variables related to fungal isolates. The sand dune habitat type showed that fungal isolates have a close relationship with total dissolved phosphorus, potassium adsorption ratio, sodium adsorption ratio, electrical conductivity, silt and chloride. In the fertile land habitat type, fungal isolates showed a close relationship with water holding capacity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved phosphorus and organic carbon. The phytochemical analysis of the plant species selected from the different habitats of the study area showed that Ash, total nitrogen, carbohydrates, protein, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, saponins and flavonoides have a close relationship with the different fungal isolates isolated from the study area. |
