title: Methane Fluid Emission from the Bottom Sediments of the Chernaya River Estuary, Sevastopol Region, Crimea
abstract: Fluid methane discharge fluxes from bottom sediments were measured (using the trapping method) in four areas of the Chernaya River estuarine zone. The sampling stations were characterized by different hydrological–hydrochemical conditions: the water samples differed in salinity, content of biogenic elements of nitrogen and phosphorus complexes ( $${\text{NO}}_{2}^{ - }$$ from 12.2 to 29 μg L–1; $${\text{NO}}_{3}^{ - }$$ from 294 to 869 μg L–1; $${\text{NH}}_{4}^{ + }$$ from 57.9 to 130 μg L–1; a
