Abstract

Academician Alexander P. Lisitsyn has developed a theory of biogenic sedimentation and global biofilters in the ocean that became an important part of marine geology and geochemistry. As a follower of Academician V.I. Vernadsky, A.P. Lisitsyn revealed a fundamental role of living matter in formation of the major part of the ocean bottom sediments. This paper presents some data on the trace metal biogeochemistry in the ocean, their bioaccumulation in the global ocean biofilters is quantitively evaluated.
