Abstract

Variations in the concentrations of dissolved organic and biogenic substances in waters of natural watercourses under the effect of natural and anthropogenic factors are considered. Seasonal and long-term dynamics of these concentrations in 1990–2001 are analyzed. The causes of an improvement in surface water quality are established, and the role of some changes in the agricultural production in the forest–steppe zone of the Central Black Earth Region of Russia is assessed.
