Abstract

Studies have been conducted to assess the functioning of the marginal filter in tidal estuaries of small rivers of the Arctic seas. For this, we used observational data in the White and Barents seas. When extensive tidal drains and thickets of halophytes exist in the mouths of small rivers, biogeochemical processes can differ markedly from the conditions described by the classical marginal filter theory. This is because it was developed based on the example of mouths of large rivers and does not take into account the specifics of ecosystems in the mouths of small rivers. They may change the spatial pattern of alternating turbid, chemical, and biological “traffic jams.” Attention is drawn to marginal filters in the lagoon estuaries of Arctic rivers where aquatic macrophytes are present, which can impede the transport of insoluble matter released into the sea during the melting of permafrost and glaciers.

北极海中小河的潮河口边缘滤池形成特征

摘要

已经进行了研究以评估边缘过滤器在北极海中小河的潮河口中的功能。为此，我们在怀特海和巴伦支海中使用了观测数据。当小河口存在大量的潮汐排水道和盐生植物丛时，生物地球化学过程可能与经典边际过滤理论所描述的条件明显不同。这是因为它是根据大河口的例子开发的，没有考虑小河口的生态系统特征。它们可能会改变混浊，化学和生物“交通拥堵”的空间格局。请注意存在水生植物的北极河流泻湖河口的边缘过滤器，
