Abstract—The principal regularities were ascertained for the spatiotemporal distribution of organic carbon in
the water and bottom sediments of the Russian part of the Sea of Azov. The relationships between allo- and
autochthonous organic matter in water and bottom sediments from different parts of the sea aquatic area were
found. The behavior of organic carbon in the water–bottom sediments system was characterized as the effect of
the variability of hydrochemical, biological, and hydrological factors ad processes.
