EXAMPLES OF KEY DISCOVERIES in ecology, environmental sciences, biology in the 20th and 21st centuries, and some scientific questions that were answered. More than publications in ecology. Revolution in conceptualization in environmental sciences. Modernization. A short list of some key discoveries and innovative scientific publications. About the author of the innovations, Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov: http://www.famous-scientists.ru/3732/; On Twitter: http://twitter.com/Sergeiost; D:\2011\List.Blog.Posts\8 KEY DISCOVERIES.docx **List of the main discoveries: 1]: Innovative conceptualization of how ecosystems improve water quality (water self-purification); 2]: New facts on hazardous biological and toxic effects of surfactants and detergents; 3]: Inhibitory analysis: New method to explore top-down control in ecosystems: eutrophication, algal bloom, self-purification: 4]: New: a solution to the problem of criteria for ecohazards of chemicals, and negative anthropogenic effects on organisms and biota: 5]: A new solution to the problem of eutrophication; 6]: New Measurements. Role of Pellets of Mollusks in Fluxes of Chemical Elements. 7]: Discovery: Pollutants Inhibit Fluxes of Chemical Elements: new facts were discovered that prove the existence of a new phenomenon, namely, chemical pollutants are capable of inhibiting the natural biogeochemical flows of chemical elements in ecosystems. 8]: A new fundamental concept and term was proposed: BIOMACHINERY. 9]: Fundamental innovation was proposed: A new improved definition of the term ecosystem; 10]:Discovered: key facts that open a door to a new phytotechnology of water treatment; 11]:A solution to the enigma of stability of the biosphere, the balance in ecology, the sustainability of the natural environment; 12:Discovered: Chemical and molecular regulation and self-organization in the biosphere. New concepts and terms were proposed: Ecological chemomediators, ecological chemoregulators; 13: Discovered: New hazards from low-level (sublethal) chemical pollution.

14. Discovered: environmental pollution by a man-made chemical make a hazard of breaking an important link between components of ecosystems; 15. Discovered: a new mechanism of how life (living organisms) adjust or condition some vital chemical parameters of the environment, and decrease toxicity of the environment. 16. Proposed: New concepts and terms: two-level synergism of man-made effects; synecological summation of man-made effects; 17:Discovered: a new factor that may initiate algal blooms (also red tides, brown tides, blooms of cyanobacteria); **About these discoveries, in more detail, with some comment and sites, see:
