Abstract


—Earlier, the author published two books and some papers, in which he described conceptual


foundations of new scientific disciplines — biochemical ecology and biochemical hydrobiology. These trends


in research include studies of the role of chemical substances in interorganismal interactions, in communication


and regulation of supraorganismal systems. Another part of biochemical ecology concerns studies of the destiny


and transformation of external chemical substances when they interact with the organisms. Both natural and


man-made compounds are interesting for biochemical ecology. The basic concepts of biochemical ecology


include ecological chemomediators and ecological chemoregulators that have already been included in the body


of modern conceptions and are used in modern ecological literature. Application of biochemical ecology to


aquatic ecosystems creates the basis for development of biochemical hydrobiology.

The founding concepts of biochemical ecology were


formulated in the book “Introduction to biochemical


ecology” [1], published in 1986. The author had offered


a unified view of many facts on the border between


ecology and biochemistry, based on a number of previ-


ous works [e.g., 2] and being in agreement with the ap-


proach outlined in [3–5]. The further developments in


this field [e.g., 6–8] have endorsed the expediency of


distinguishing this direction of research, rooted in Ver-


nadsky’s doctrine of biosphere [9–12]. The present pa-


per summarizes several in-depth reviews [1, 8, 22] to


provide a brief analysis of this interdisciplinary field of


science and introduce some key concepts and terms.


The idea of the importance of chemical approaches


for studies of ecological and biospheric processes and


relationships between organisms and the environment,


including the hydrosphere, was thoroughly developed


in the works by Vernadsky [9–12] who stated that the


ocean in general should be regarded, at its every point,


as an unbreakable link between dead inert matter and


ever-changing living matter, chemically restructuring


the inert environment [9]. Following Vernadsky, the


heterogeneous living matter in the ocean, the marine


life as a whole, can be viewed as a special mechanism,


changing the sea chemistry entirely [11].


According to Vernadsky [11], the Earth’s biosphere,


in addition to living, biogenic and inert matter, includes


bioinert matter, produced at the same time both by liv


-


ing organisms and by inert processes and representing


dynamic equilibrium systems of both [9]. In the bio


-


sphere, we encounter various forms of biospheric mat


-


ter: dead inert low-activity matter, alive disperse matter,


very active chemically and geologically, and bioinert


matter, a natural structure from alive and inert matter.


The alive matter is a form of activated matter [9].


The importance of engaging chemical and biochem


-


ical approaches for understanding ecosystems and bio-


cenoses has been underscored by many Vernadsky’s


followers working in ecology and hydrobiology.


The subsequent development of natural sciences


brought new questions from the border zone between


ecology, chemistry, and biochemistry. Among them,


there is a prominent problem of how well integrated is


living matter and the biosphere in general and what


are molecular mechanisms of regulation of biospheric


equilibria (“ecological equilibria” in modern terms,


which still need to be defined more precisely) and for-


mation of bodies of organic matter in the biosphere.


Studies of the features of ecological equilibria in the


biosphere and the mechanisms of their maintenance and


disturbance, including those involving various organic


compounds, especially secondary metabolites are cur


-


rently gaining much importance [13–20]. The main


reasons of growing interest to these problems are multi


-


faceted.


First, the advances in ecosystem science have under


-


standably led to the accumulation of a wealth of data re


-


garding the structure and functioning of ecosystems,


their dynamics and stability. This information lays the


foundation for a new stage in the development of ecol


-


ogy, with an increasing attention given to the factors


that regulate the formation of ecosystems’ structure,


their dynamics and functioning. A deep analysis of


the concept of ecologic equilibrium, still insufficiently


clear, is urgently needed [7].


Second, improvements in the chemical and bio


-


chemical techniques used to study living organisms and


their environment reveal new features of biochemical


processes and chemical compounds, especially second
