This is a fundamental top paper. The paper presented fundamental elements of a new useful theory of water ecosystem function. This is a theory of how aquatic ecosystem functions towards improving water quality (water self-purification). In terms of fundamental ecology and pure science, it is a solid contribution to finding secrets of ecosystem stability and self-organization. In terms of applied science, this is a useful contribution to scientific understanding of the vital ecosystem service, namely, maintaining water quality (making it clean and clear). This is a contribution to environmental safety, water sustainability.
The paper created an ecological theory of biological self-purification of water, in other words, the theory of multi-functional role of the biota (sum of organisms) in water purification and pollution control.
More recent publications by the same author, a Fulbright Award winning researcher with experience of doing research in best laboratories of U.S., U.K., Russia, and other countries, confirmed this theory.

The paper under the review was ahead of its time. I predict that it will be cited more and more in future. I give my very strong recommendations. I recommend this paper to all who are interested in innovations and future progress of ecology, water science, freshwater and marine biology, water quality, environmental safety and sustainability.
