QUESTIONS:
Some scientists are using this term, however it is not in use as broadly as some other common terms in aquatic ecology.
Many scientists have a first language other than English.
There are many papers and books on ecology, it is not easy to find the most useful. It is interesting to hear opinions of colleagues and experts...
I am interested to hear opinions of colleagues on this issue.
New scientific evidence on this issue is very important and needed.
Phaedra Henley, Julie Hill, Myla E. Moretti, Zahra Jahedmotlagh, Katherine Schoeman, Gideon Koren, John R. Bend
The current systems for analysis of publication activity pay more attention to papers than to books. However the role of books is significant...
New types of pollutants are of interest
The online libraries provide access to a large number of publications.
It is important to consider all key factors that stimulate eutrophication. Incomplete knowledge on this issue is a cause of a failure in all current effort to stop eutrophication.
environmental hazard from anionic surfactants (e.g. SDS) toward marine bivalves was not studied in detail.
The freshwater and marine ecosystems are far from being identical...
Traditionally it is thought that the main role belongs to microorganisms. Is this really so?
The current Impact Factor is sometimes misleading and does not reflect the true level of a scientific journal.
Facebook is easy to use.
Water is a vital resource. However what is needed is not just water but water of proper quality.
Citation of the publications is an evidence of merit.
Ecology is an important area of science. Are there any new steps?
.
The paper provides a review of relevant issues. Many scientists in marine ecology and freshwater ecology expressed their interest in these issues.
It is useful to have innovative materials available online. Some online materials provide valuable bibliography and full texts of interesting scientific papers.
This book was acquired by Harvard University, M.I.T., Cambridge, Oxford universities, Library of Congress, British Library, national libraries of other countries of Europe and Asia. The keywords include bioassay, bioindicators, ecotoxicology, hazard assessment etc.
Interdisciplinary issues are of significant scientific interest.
This is of interest to scientists, professors and students
These publications are most needed currently.
It is good to know the examples of recent publications with substantial innovations.
Usually the lists of the most important environmental toxicants do not include surfactants. Do you think the lists will change in future?
This question is vital to understand factors that form water quality
It is important to discuss rating of journals.
Internet users download the papers which are most innovative, most interesting.
This question leads to revolutionary insights into understanding aquatic ecosystem function.
Usually it is considered that bacteria are the key player in water self-purification. Is it really so?
Follow Answer
Water self-purification is relevant to water safety, water sustainability, ecosystem services
Topics: ecology, aquatic, sciences, environmental, ecological, toxicology, water quality, protection, conservation, biological, sustainability, biosphere, chemico-biotic interactions, pollution control, water, self-purification, detergents, phytoremediation, filter-feeders, suspension feeders, surfactants, environment, pollution, water quality, aquatic organisms...
It is useful to identify well-cited publications which contributed to the scientific basis of protection of environment, and environmental safety.
Which principles will be helpful in organizing reserves to protect aquatic organisms?
Surfactants are components of laundry detergents, shampoos, dish washing liquids
There are so many posts, links, web pages; some priorities are needed on which of them are most relevant
New knolwdledge of many new facts in ecology may lead to a change in the concept of ecosystem
It is useful to know which links attrected much attention currently
I believe that it is important to see the priorities in this area of research.
Ostroumov S.A., Dodson S., Hamilton D., Peterson S., Wetzel R.G.
this paper is one of the first that started a series of fundamentally innovative papers on water self-purification. What is the feature of this paper, what is the most outstanding innovation in this article?
Water quality is a real issue; many biological sciences contribute important facts relevant to water quality; it is important to identify key publications in this area
The book 'Biological Effects of Surfactants' demonstrated that synthetic surfactants may be of hazard to aquatic life. More info is needed in this direction.
E. A. Solomonova, S. A. Ostroumov
Traditionally, shampoo is not on the list of hazardous environmental pollutants. Is it an environmentally safe chemical product?
Traditionally it was a dogma that mainly aquatic heterotrophic bacteria are the main factor of water self-purification. By contrast, some recent papers proposed the theory that almost all biodiversity is involved. Examples of these papers: http://ru.scribd.com/doc/52627327/; http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2013/12/making-water-clear-clean-pure-safe.html; http://www.scribd.com/doc/48099028[more]
It is important to know toxic effects of chemical pollutants on freshwater bivalve mollusks because these organisms contribute to improving water quality so that their health is a part of water ecosystem health.
