http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-publication-in-which-concise.html
The aim of this blog post is to explain the contribution to science, and the role of the following article:
Ostroumov S.A. Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in processes leading to water purification: current conceptualizations and concluding remarks. - Hydrobiologia. 2002. V. 469 (1-3): 203-204.
This is the first publication in which a concise presentation is given of the author’s theory of water self-purification. A short list of physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification is given. One of the conclusions is: ‘living organisms are the core component of the multitude of processes of the ecological machinery working towards improving water quality’.
Innovative and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms (biological community) work together toward making water clear and clean.
A new term ‘biomachinery’ is used. This term was invented and introduced to science of ecology by the author, Dr. S.A.Ostroumov
