Abstract

Calculated indicators are suggested, which make it possible to assess the size of maritime water areas with a different relationship between streamflow and aerial depositions (dissolved forms of nitrogen, phosphorus, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd). The role of streamflow decreases for the Fe, Mn, P > Cu, N > Zn > Pb > Pd series. Furthermore, the aerial input of Pb and Cd is dominant throughout most of all the stretches of water used in the study. By comparing the resulting assessments with the size of actual water areas, it is possible to carry out a zoning of the offshore waters as regards the intensity of supply and the contributors of matter from land surface.
