Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in processes leading to water purification: current conceptualizations and concluding remarks

A short list of the most important physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification.
The first publication in which a concise outline was made of the author’s innovative theory of water self-purification. A short list of the most important physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification is given.
