БІОГЕОХІМІЧНІ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ РОЗПОДІЛУ МЕТАНУ У ВОДІ І ДОННИХ ОСАДАХ В МІСЦЯХ СТРУМИННИХ ГАЗОВИДІЛЕНЬ В АКВАТОРІЇ СЕВАСТОПОЛЬСЬКИХ БУХТ

CH4 concentration data and rates of microbial processes of carbon and sulfur assimilation occurring in bottom sediments samples from Sevastopol coastal area (Black Sea) are presented. Cold gas seepages in the Sevastopol Bay caused by penetration of the methane bubbles from the deep sedimentary layers into the subsurface horizons. Concentration of methane dissolved in nearbottom and pore waters at this station as well as CH4 oxidation rates in bottom sediments were statistically higher than at th
