摘要
A hydroecological model is used to study the transformations of biogenic-element (N, P, C, and Si) compounds in different parts of the Caspian Sea. The existing notions of the biotransformation processes of these compounds in the marine environment are formalized. The state of the marine environment is characterized based on calculated annual dynamics of biogenic element concentrations, their relationships, and internal fluxes. Relationships between the concentrations of N and P mineral components are used to establish distinctions between different parts of the sea in the conditions of primary production limited by biogenic elements, as well as the development conditions of aquatic lifeforms (nutrient consumption, release of metabolic products, and detritus formation). © 2004 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
