The lake area is surrounded by Samanlı Mountains in the north, and Avdan and Gürle Mountains in the south. In the research area, where precipitation occurs in Spring and Winter most, Winters are warm, and a transitional climate type in which the Summers are not too hot is seen, there are floras in the form of forests, makis (a type of Mediterranean shrub) and pseudomakis. In Lake Iznik, which is an important wetland, and its surroundings there are primarily water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution and solid waste pollution as a result of excessive use of agricultural medicine and fertilizers, and the above mentioned pollution is increasing in a noticeable way year by year. Around the lake, especially in Orhangazi region in the west banks of the lake, the targetlessly misuse of 1st class farming lands, which are appropriate for watery farming, puts the future of the Lake Iznik in danger.
