Special attention is paid to the distribution of microfossils in surface waters as an indicator of the modern sea ice and hydrological signal. A distinctive feature of the Barents Sea tanatocenoses is the frequency of re-deposited Paleogene and Cretaceous forms of diatoms and dinocysts. Despite all the difficulties in finding microfossils in bottom sediments, data were obtained on characteristic associations mainly related to the redistribution of relatively warm North Atlantic waters. The issues of microfossils in cores and boreholes located on the Barents Sea shelf and continental slope are considered and the most extensive material on changes in sedimentation conditions in the Pleistocene and Holocene is generalized.","PeriodicalId":140472,"journal":{"name":"THE BARENTS SEA SYSTEM","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127149346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large variability of these values in both surface and deep waters is shown, depending on the intensity of the hydrological and biological processes.DOM concentrations varied from 59 to 664 μMCorg, while POM varied from 0.25 to 38.08 μMCorg. The reduction of the ice cover affected both the distribution and the qualitative composition of the DOM and the POM. This reduction, as well as the increased flow of Atlantic waters, contributed not only to an increase in the primary production of organic matter, but also to a significant intensification of redox and hydrolytic processes of its transformation, especially in the high-latitude part of the Barents Sea. The DOM of the sea is characterized by high C / P ratios, far exceeding those of Redfeld. At the same time, C / N ratios in the most productive waters are close to those of Redfeld. We highlighted four regions in the sea where concentrations of dissolved carbohydrates increase towards the bottom, which indicates that oil hydrocarbons are supplied here.","PeriodicalId":140472,"journal":{"name":"THE BARENTS SEA SYSTEM","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128757282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiments were carried out both on sediments of natural moisture and on sediments after removal of sludge water. The maximum values of the equilibrium exchange capacity of sediments containing and not containing silt water practically coincide and are (in mg-eqv/g) in Mn, Ni, Zn, Cd – 0.20-0.28; Pb – 0.28-0.40; Cu – 0.36-0.66. According to the obtained values of the exchange capacity of precipitation belong to the class of adsorbents. The influence of sediments size and concentration of metal salt solutions on the exchange capacity of precipitation was studied. It is concluded that, on the one hand, precipitation contributes to the circulation of heavy metal cations in the marine environment, on the other hand, sediments can be considered as cleaners and pollutants of marine waters.","PeriodicalId":140472,"journal":{"name":"THE BARENTS SEA SYSTEM","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128705491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For lead and cadmium, the contributions of their anthropogenic emissions in foreign Europe, as well as of windblowing dust and soil particles have been taking into account(from EMEP reports). About 50% of lead and about 40% of cadmium come from those sources to the whole Sea area. In general, the atmosphere supplies yearly only a fraction of percent of HMs containing in the Barents Sea waters. In spring, during the period of ice melting, the atmospheric contribution to HM concentrations in Sea waters may be 2-10 times higher than average annual values.
