Ostroumov S.A. Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in processes leading to water purification: current conceptualizations and concluding remarks. - Hydrobiologia. 2002. V. 469 (1-3): 203-204. http://www.scribd.com/doc/52627327/2H469p203-Polyfunctional-role-w-Addendum;

Innovative and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms (biological community) work together toward making water clear and clean, toward improving water quality. The issues covered: - a new vision of the mechanism of water self-purification processes. - Water self-purification in aquatic ecosystems is based on a number of interconnected processes either physical, chemical or biological… - A new fundamental concept of the multi-functional (polyfunctional) role of aquatic organisms [=hydrobionts] (and the aquatic biota as a whole) in the purification of aquatic - both freshwater and marine - ecosystems.
