Abstract

The seasonal variability of the distribution of dissolved forms of mineral phosphorus and silicon and water alkalinity is studied in the Northern Dvina River mouth. The non-conservative behavior of mineral phosphorus and silicon (presumably caused by the biological consumption of these elements) and the conservative distribution of alkalinity are established. The conservative distribution of alkalinity makes it possible to use the relationship between the values of this parameter and the concentrations of chlorides for the analysis of the genetic structure of water in the desalinized part of the Baltic Sea.
