Biogenic Migration of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Saline Drying Lakes in Crimea
Journal: Geochemistry International
Year: 2022

Migration of nutrients is studied in five drying salt lakes belonging to the Yevpatoriya Group (Crimea). The nutrients enter in the Crimean salt lakes from natural sources, in particular, atmospheric precipitation, erosion materials, seawater overflow during storms, products of vital activity of birds and animals grazing on coasts, processes in ecosystems (eutrophication and vital functions of aquatic organisms). Nitrogen and phosphorus are also supplied with runoff directly in water bodies and
