Abstract

This article presents the first data on the chemical composition of dispersed matter from sediment traps with analysis of the sedimentary components that constitute suspended particulate matter (amorphous silica, organic matter (OM), carbonates, and lithogenic matter). It is established that the annual variability of fluxes demonstrates its seasonal growth in spring and summer. High fluxes of these components over the northern and southern slopes of the Derbent Basin are determined by deposition of material from the nepheloid layer formed by the contour current.
