The raw data were processed using the apparatus of nonparametric correlation analysis (paired correlation coefficients between 27 parameters and partial correlation coefficients). The strengths of relations between maturity criteria based on reactions of different type (for example, reactions of C–C bond cleavage and isomerization reactions of aromatic compounds) were studied. It is shown that none of the 266 correlation coefficients corresponds to the values characteristic of a functional dependence. The partial correlation coefficients show that there are only thirteen pairs in which the parameters determined by reactions of different type are directly interrelated, and the strength of the relation significantly affects the values of both parameters. Thus, the values we measured in carbonate and silicite rocks cannot be to used to characterize the general approach of their OM to chemical equilibrium. Although the concept of “maturity” may have, technically speaking, the meaning of a general tendency toward equilibrium, it should be admitted that no methods are available so far to measure it. No data can be used to identify the only single parameter whose value is controlled only by the maturity value. Moreover, it is quite probable that there is no such a parameter at all.

In an experiment on growth in the area of a scratch, it was shown, using an original method of AFM data processing, that the average rate diagrams indicate a situation of a self-organization process: stable auto-oscillations in the growth rate. Comparison of the results with data on the growth of similar uninfluenced hillocks leads to the conclusion that giant fluctuations and the phenomenon of simultaneous growth and dissolution in local areas are caused by nanoindentation, when the strain from artificially formed defects strongly influences the evolution of the surface. In an AFM experiment on the trapping of foreign solid particles by a growing crystal at the nanoscale, the process of formation of a screw dislocation initiated by a foreign inclusion particle was registered. To theoretically explain the process, a three-stage mechanism is proposed that involves strain relaxation around the inclusion particle by the formation of one or more dislocations prior to the sealing of the inclusion during the first stage, the attachment of edge dislocations to them during the time of overgrowing in the second stage, and the development of a resulting dislocation after the particle has been completely sealed during the third stage. In studying growth in a flow cell, the mechanism of nanoscale reorientation of the growth hillock in the direction of the flow was established at a nanoscale, and the phenomenon of a change in the dominant hillock was registered.

Samples were taken from open and forested areas within the fen, with the latter having long received discharged domestic wastewaters. The methane emissions positively correlate with the concentrations of nitrogen compounds and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In both areas, higher methane emissions were observed from waterlogged microdepressions than from dry elevated microlandscape features. The largest emission was observed from the microdepressions in the forested area near the wastewater discharge point, where the extreme values of CH<sub>4</sub> fluxes were almost 30 times higher than the background ones. However, the methane fluxes decrease to the background level at 160 m from the wastewater discharge point, together with the concentrations of almost all nitrogen and carbon compounds dissolved in the fen water. This led us to conclude that wastewater pollution significantly affects the intensity of methane fluxes by increasing ebullitive methane emission near the pollution source. The isotopic composition of the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was heavier in the forested area (δ<sup>13</sup>C-DIC = –9.64 to –9.21‰) than in the open one (–12.83 to –11.24‰). In the open area of the fen, DIC isotopic composition became heavier away from the dry upland, correlating with the increase in the methane fluxes. The obtained data indicate that methane-generating processes are more active in the forested area of the fen than in the open one and become more active in the open area with increasing distance from the dry upland.

For some complexes (Ozernaya Varaka, Kontozero), these characteristics are reported for the first time. The determined range of δ<sup>34</sup>S variations of sulfides in one complex does not exceed 4‰, but reaches 20‰ for the entire Kola Alkaline Province. This may be related to the evolution style of carbonatites and associated rocks. It is shown that the δ<sup>34</sup>S value in sulfides decreases from (1) the least evolved volcanic carbonatites of the Kontozero complex (δ<sup>34</sup>S<sub>avg.</sub> = –1.3‰) through (2) carbonatites and phoscorites of the Kovdor, Ozernaya Varaka, Sokli, and Salmagora massifs towards (3) the rocks of Seblyavr, Vuoriyarvi, and, finally, the carbonatites of Sallanlatva (δ<sup>34</sup>S<sub>avg.</sub> = –14.7‰) massifs, where sulfides differ from those of other KAP carbonatites in their exceptionally low δ<sup>34</sup>S values. The carbonatite volcanics of Kontozero are almost barren of REE mineralization; carbonatites of the second group contain accessory amounts of REE minerals; the third group is peculiar in the abundance of late carbonatites, where REE carbonates are frequently major minerals.

For the first time in the KAP, the sulfur isotopic composition of associated baryte–pyrite pairs was studied in the Sallanlatva carbonatites. The sulfur isotopic characteristics are shown to correspond to the final low-temperature (250–350°C) stage of carbonatite evolution in oxidized conditions, which satisfies the parameters of baryte crystallization.
