Abstract
The dynamics of global flows of matter in the biosphere has been studied. The general law of redistribution of average elemental compositions in the biosphere between the solid and liquid phases (lithosphere-hydrosphere) is established. In these processes, the main role is played by "living matter." The most active processes of redistribution of mean elemental compositions in the biosphere take place in the places of "life thickening" (biogeochemical barriers) such as ocean-atmosphere, river-sea and hydrosphere-lithosphere. The result of these processes is a general relative increase in the concentrations of trace elements in the environment of living organisms. A new methodological approach is proposed to study the role of the transfer of trace elements in the ocean-atmosphere-continent system as a factor in the formation of the elemental composition of the Earth's soil cover.
