The goal of this review is to provide a short summary of a series of innovative publications on environmental science and ecology [1-25]. The papers were authored by scientists of Moscow State University and their co-authors. The review is not a comprehensive analysis of this broad area but a summary of some selected examples which are useful both in advancing further research and in modernization of environmental education. The review is structured and the text is divided into short sections that are easy to read.
1. Biomachinery of ecosystems.
In the insightful review paper [1], an innovative concept of ecosystem’s biomachinery (a new scientific term that was proposed and explained in detail by the author. According to the author of this paper [1], biomachinery 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. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems [1].

2. Rare earth elements in biodetritus in an aquatic system.

In 2010, a paper on using  neutron activation analysis (NAA) to measure the concentrations of some chemical elements in the samples of detritus was published [2]. This paper is the first publication that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements in biodetritus in an aquatic system [2].
