updated: 17 Results of interdisciplinary research: ecology, environmental science, aquatic ecology, hydrobiology: 17 innovations with references.
In a series of publications [1-19] that were published by Moscow State University ecologists, some new facts were discovered. As a result of critical analysis on the new facts, a better understanding of the following issues of ecology and environmental science was achieved.
These results help to develop the scientific basis for protection of aquatic ecosystems including protection of water quality. Moreover, these results are useful to improve water quality in aquatic ecosystems under anthropogenic impact. These results represent 17 useful steps in attempts to mitigate or alleviate a current catastrophic decrease in water quality in freshwater and marine ecosystems, in water bodies and streams.

In a series of publications [1-19] that were published by Moscow State University ecologists, some new facts were discovered. As a result of critical analysis on the new facts, a better understanding of the following issues of ecology and environmental science was achieved.
These results help to develop the scientific basis for protection of aquatic ecosystems including protection of water quality. Moreover, these results are useful to improve water quality in aquatic ecosystems under anthropogenic impact. These results represent 17 useful steps in attempts to mitigate or alleviate a current catastrophic decrease in water quality in freshwater and marine ecosystems, in water bodies and streams.
These innovative results are summarized in short form as follows.
1. Innovative conceptualization: how ecosystems improve water quality [3].
2. Fundamentally new facts: hazardous biological and toxic effects of detergent [4-6].
4. A contribution to solution of the problem: the problem of criteria for environmental hazards [8, 9].
5. A new contribution to solution of the problem: the problem of eutrophication [10].
6. New measurements: a quantitative estimate: the role of pellets of mollusks [11].
7. New facts, discovery: pollutants inhibit: fluxes (flows, transfers) of chemical elements [11].
8. Biomachinery. A new fundamental concept. New scientific term proposed [12].
9. Modernized Terminology. A new improved definition. What is ‘ecosystem’? [13].
10. New key facts towards the scientific basis of innovative technology. New phytotechnology: water purification [14].
11. Stability of the biosphere. Important mechanisms which contribute to stability of the biosphere [15].
12. A new component of the mechanism of regulation of migration of elements and matter in the biosphere [16 ].
13. New type of serious environmental hazards: low-level (sublethal) chemical pollution [5].
14. A new environmental hazard of pollution: damage to links between parts of ecosystems [17].
15. How living organisms change the environment. Additional aspects [15].
16. New fundamental concepts, terminology. Two-level synergism: man-made effects [18].
17. A new anthropogenic factor: initiation, stimulation of algal blooms [7, 10].
To facilitate further research, a short list of the most urgent topics in environmental science was prepared and published [19].
Some additional information on these innovations is presented here [1, 2, 20]. These results were produced by the scientific research conducted at M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University. Some experiments were performed in cooperation with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (U.K.), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and University of Massachusetts (U.S.A.), and the Institute of Biology of Southern Seas (Sevastopol).
