Physicochemical properties of bottom sediments of terrace water bodies in the voronezh-usman interfluous

Bozhko S. N., Gorbunova Y. S., Yablonskikh L. A.

The main physical and chemical properties of bottom sediments of terraced reservoirs of the Voronezh State Natural Biosphere Reserve are given. The dependence of the content of organic substances and some biophilic elements on the degree of overgrowth of water bodies was studied. The change in the concentration of substances by the seasons of the year is considered. The relationship between the acidity of bottom sediments and the degree of swamping of the reservoir is shown.

Keywords:bottom sediments, terraced water bodies, physical and chemical properties, seasonal dynamics, degree of overgrowth, swamping.
