1)
Toxicity of gold nanoparticles for plants in experimental aquatic system.
[Tags, key words: Non-animal, Alternative to Animal Testing, gold nanomaterials, Au, with aquatic higher plants, macrophytes, Ceratophyllum demersum, English names of the higher plant species: hornwort, rigid hornwort, coontail,  coon's tail]

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/265551300_Toxicity_of_Gold_Nanoparticles_for_Plants_in_Experimental_Aquatic_System

Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
until now, the gold was considered as a non-toxic metal, a non-toxic chemical element. This is a first paper to report toxicity of gold. This is another new example of how important is the size of the particles of the metal. When gold is in the form of nanoparticles, it became toxic to this organism, an aquatic plant species.

Tags: environmental toxicology, water, aquatic, toxicology, aquatic higher plants, vegetation, detergents,

Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
Until the laboratory of these authors was active, no facts of toxicity of detergents to higher aquatic plants (macrophytes) were known. The first facts on toxicity of detergents to aquatic higher plants were obtained by Dr. Sergei Ostroumov (they were presented in his book, Biological Effects of Surfactants). This paper is a continuation of work of this author. New facts of toxicity of detergents to aquatic plants were reported in this paper. The new data provided new support to the conclusion made by  Sergei in his book: the synthetic detergents are more hazardous to the aquatic environment than it was thought before.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/227303635_Biocontrol_of_water_quality_Multifunctional_role_of_biota_in_water_self-purification;

Explanation of novelty and usefulness: This article contributed to formulation fundamentals of a new ecological theory, proposed by this author in his earlier publications. The theory discovered and explained the mechanism of the important aquatic ecosystem service, namely, water purification by the community of aquatic organisms. The new theory helps to protect aquatic ecosystem health and good quality of water resources.

4)
The Role of Biodetritus in Accumulation of Elements in Aquatic Ecosystems;

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/225471572_The_role_of_biodetritus_in_accumulation_of_elements_in_aquatic_ecosystems;

Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
Biodetritus is biological detritus, organic sediment in experimental aquatic systems. Elements are chemical elements, namely, some heavy metals and some other chemical elements. This is the first paper to report concentrations of many chemical elements in the organic sediment of biological origin. It is a unique publication on the experiment where the organic sediment (biological detritus) was produced by 3 known species of aquatic organisms, under controlled experimental conditions.
