It is necessary to modernize the definitions of the basic concepts and terms in ecology, including the terms ecosystem and biogeocenosis. A constructive attempts to do so was made in the paper entitled: New definitions of the concepts and terms ecosystem and biogeocenosis (published in: Doklady Biological Sciences, Volume 383, p. 141-143). The paper continues the development of basic concepts of ecology with the milestones in 1935, when the term 'ecosystem' was coined by Prof. A. Tansley, and in the 1940s, when another important term 'biogeocoenosis' was introduced by Prof. V. N. Sukachev. The paper taked into attention a significant amount of new facts that had accumulated in ecology since that time. The author proposed some new variants of the definition of the two terms that...

A paper was published in which the author discovered man-made hazards to 3 aspects of functioning of the biosphere and ecosystems: (1) formation of water quality; (2) biogeochemical flows of C, N, P and other constituents of biomass; (3) formation of deposits of organic matter as bottom sediments.
