Abstract

The large wetland area of Volga Delta presents a unique complex of aquatic landscapes. Processes of transformation and accumulation of chemical elements and compounds cause a diverse and dynamic geochemical pattern of this large area (about 20, 000 km2). Natural geochemical anomalies are subjected to the growing technogenic pressure that results in redistribution of major and minor elements. The research of bottom sediments as the most stable natural component of aquatic landscapes appears to be of great importance for the environmental assessment.
