Innovation. New qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality
http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2013/04/innovation-new-qualitative-theory-of.html
Innovative concepts on fundamental issues of water sustainability, water safety and aquatic ecology were covered in a paper published in the Springer journal, ‘Contemporary Problems of Ecology’.
This article provides the fundamental elements of a new qualitative theory of biotic control (biocontrol) of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems [see the ref. below].
The author’s concept of how ecosystem and its biological community perform water self-purification was cited by other scientists who are working in Europe, North America, China, India, and Australia. This paper is both a review and an innovative opinion paper.
This article will be useful to those who would like to cite a useful source of new ideas and productive concepts on aquatic ecology, water quality, pollution control, useful role of aquatic biodiversity, and environmental safety.
