Abstract
The density of particles in the bottom deposits of water bodies is an important characteristic, which determines the rate of interaction between bottom water layers with the surface layer of bottom sediments and which in the modern studies cannot be assumed constant. In the presented article, the variability of this characteristic is evaluated for Lake Ladoga. This variability requires correction of the existing procedures for particle-size analysis of bottom sediments in natural water bodies.
