In 2008, a  paper was published on fundamental concepts of biochemical ecology (Ostroumov, 2008). The paper contained modern comments on the innovative scientific terms (ecological chemomediators, ecological chemoregulators) that were coined in 1986 in the book S.A.Ostroumov ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’. These terms have a strong innovative potential in getting better insight in interorganismal connections, communication and links among organisms in the biosphere (Ostroumov, 2008).

The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems

First paper to report concentrations of a number of rare earth elements (Ce, Nd, U, Hf, Cs , Au) in biological detritus in an aquatic system. Scientific article: S.A.Ostroumov, G.M.Kolesov. The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems.

In 2010, a first paper was published that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements (Ce, Nd, U, Hf, Cs, Au) in biological detritus in an aquatic system (Ostroumov, Kolesov, 2010 ).

In 2010, a first paper was published that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements (Ce, Nd, U, Hf, Cs , Au) in biological detritus in an aquatic system (Ostroumov, Kolesov, 2010 ). Until this work was done, nothing was known on concentrations of these rare earth elements in the detritus of biological origin in water ecosystems. It is important that the research was done using a completely controlled experimental system so that the biological species of aquatic organisms that produced the biodetritus were known: two species of mollusks and one species of aquatic macrophyte.

Importance of this publication:

The biological detritus is one of the most important parts of the bottom sediments in water bodies and water streams. The biodetritus is the main source of organic matter in sediments. In turn, the organic matter is one of the main factors to environmental chemistry and toxicology of aquatic ecosystems.

The rare earth elements are a key component of modern hi-technology products and they are a new component in the modern solid wastes and waste waters. This paper is an innovative and significant contribution to the database for modern environmental monitoring.

Besides the elements mentioned above, the concentrations of Ca, Zn, Ba, Br , Se, La, Sb were also measured.

Biodetritus that formed over a 7-month period in microcosms with Viviparus viviparus, Unio pictorum , and Ceratophyllum demersum contained a number of elements. This is the first study to determine concentrations of some elements in biodetritus. Neutron activation analysis showed that the elements concentrations decrease in the following order: Ca > Zn > Ba > Br > Ce > Se > Nd > La > U > Hf > Sb > Th > Sm > S > Cs > Au. The data obtained contribute to understanding of the multifunctional (polyfunctional) role of aquatic organisms in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract:

      The paper presents an updated conceptualization of ecosystem’s biomachinery (a new scientific term that was proposed by the author; it means ecological mechanisms that include biological communities and biodiversity) which improves water quality. The innovative experimental data analysis, concepts, and generalizations in this article provide the fundamental elements of the new qualitative theory of biocontrol of water quality in a systematized form. This theory was put forward in the previous papers of the author. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory is supported by the results of the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by some chemical pollutants including synthetic surfactants, detergents, and other xenobiotics on aquatic organisms. The new fundamental conceptualization provides a basis for remediation of polluted aquatic ecosystems including purification of water bodies and streams, and briefly present the qualitative theory of the self-purification mechanism of aquatic ecosystems, phytoremediation and other types of technologies.
