Review. Ecosystem definition. New Definitions of the Concepts and Terms Ecosystem and Biogeocenosis.

This is a fundamental contribution to ecology, a top paper. Prior to this paper no satisfactory ecosystem definition existed. The ecosystem definitions of ecosystem in many textbooks on ecology are outdated, vague, naive, and self-contradictory. Usually these definitions included other scientific terms which in turn required their definitions that usually - in open or hidden form - were based on the concept of ecosystem. As a result, a vicious circle took place. The creator of the concept and verbal expression 'ecological system' did not even try to give a definition, in his famous paper [Tansley, A.G. (1935). "The use and abuse of vegetational terms and concepts"].

The paper under review [New Definitions of the Concepts and Terms Ecosystem and Biogeocenosis, by S. A. Ostroumov] is absolutely unique, carefully innovative, and totally useful. The author, Fulbright Award-winning scientist Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov avoided all of the defects of ecosystem definitions that were mentioned above.

His definition is clear, modern, in simple words, without oversimplification, without logical self-contradictions. It is correct, usable and useful.

Dr. Sergei Ostroumov is the author of a series of research papers and books which covered different areas of ecology. He did his research on both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, on both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms. He had experience in organismal biology and in biochemistry and chemical ecology. Moreover, he had experience in teaching in universities in Russia and the U.S.A. This broad experience gave him a solid basis for a well-balanced approach to the difficult task of formulating a modern ecosystem definition.

It is interesting that in the same paper the author modernized another key term which is being often used in Russian scientific literature and less known in Western Europe and the U.S. This term is ‘biogeocoenosis’ (proposed by Prof. Sukachev in the 1940s). This term is - to a degree – an analog of ‘ecosystem’. This term have not been modernized since the 1940s so that Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov did a really commendable job of updating the both terms (ecosystem and biogeocenosis).

THE CONCLUSION: I would like to give my very strong recommendations to this really useful article. The need for a modern ecosystem definition will increase with time. The value of this article will increase. It will be well cited.

New ecosystem definition. The current ecosystem definition is vague and outdated. The author modernized this antiquated definition. The paper is of a huge importance, and great help to all who is interested in modern interpretation of the most fundamental terminology in ecology. The paper is very...
