| Abstract: | Based upon the composition of the dominant species of benthic foraminifers in the bottom sediments sampled at 50 sampling
stations in the White Sea, their six assemblages (communities) were defined and mapped. The ranges of these communities depend
on the environmental factors determined by the bathymetric, latitudinal, and circum-continental sea zonalities, the sea currents,
the bottom upwellings, the continental runoff, the productivity of the waters, and the CaCO3 content in the near-bottom water layers and bottom sediments. |
