Hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics of the Torey Plain lakes during the period of the lowest territory moisture

Abstract

The largest salt lakes on the territory of Southeastern Transbaikalia and Northeastern Mongolia have been studied. It is shown that all lakes differ in hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics. According to the chemical composition of water, they belong to the soda type and sodium, carbonate, bicarbonate and chloride ions are predominant. Sulfates are in a subordinate meaning. The established relationship between abiotic and biotic parameters indicates the conjugation of biogeochemical processes involved in the formation of the soda type of lakes through the carbon cycle.
