Paradigm shift (in other words, a big change in conceptual framework in that area of science) made by this paper:

The conceptual framework Before this paper:

The primary function of ecosystems was thought to be: primary productivity;

The conceptual framework After publishing this paper:

It became clear that the primary function of ecosystems is not only primary productivity but also conditioning of their environment; in the case of aquatic ecosystems it is conditioning of aquatic environment, i.e. water self-purification.

Why it is important:

It is a contribution to scientific basis of water safety, water sustainability.

What happened afterwards, the further development in publications:

After publishing this paper, the same author published a series of other articles with new data. The new articles confirmed the ideas and conclusions of this paper.

These are some of the other publications:

[In the paper, the author developed a new approach to analyze the fundamental ecological issue, the interactions between organisms in ecosystems. He suggested using the methodology of inhibitory analysis to study interactions in trophic chains. Important situation is the top–down control of plankton by benthic filter-feeders. This control, as author’s experiments have shown, might be removed by chemical inhibitors (the latter may enter the ecosystem as pollutants)].
