A new modernized definition of the term ‘pheromones’, p.232-233; comments on the new concepts that were proposed by the author, namely ecological chemomediators (p.232), ecological chemoregulators (p.232), ecological chemoeffectors (p.234) [11].
12. Criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants.
New criteria in order to answer the question were formulated in this paper: is a given chemical substance hazardous to the environment or not? This paper formulated a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants.[12].
13. Ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton.
It is the first article in which the new experimental results of the author were analyzed to give a new fresh insight into ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton. Also, a new insight into how ecosystem runs water self-purification.[13].

15. New facts on a chemical of an important class of substances as aquatic pollutant.
It is the first paper in which it was clearly proved that the synthetic chemical (exemplified by the surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS), when it pollutes water, produces a dangerous effect on both marine mussels ( Mytilus edulis) and phytoplankton.[15].
16. New ideas on criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants.
This paper formulated a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants. The paper explains why the currently accepted set of criteria is non-efficient and leads to mistakes.[16].
17. Fundamental role of biological filtering in self-purification (and self-bioremediation, self-organization, as well as stability) of aquatic ecosystems: New facts and ideas.
It is the first paper in which a synthesis of both authors new experimental data and international literature was made, which led to a new broad picture of the fundamental role of biological filtering in self-purification ( and self-bioremediation, self-organization, as well as stability) of aquatic ecosystems.[17]. http://www.scribd.com/doc/42830557
18. Hazardous effect of a synthetic non-ionic surfactant (exemplified by Triton X-100) on diatom algae.

Abstract: the author suggests a new component of the measures against eutrophication: reducing the input of the pollutants that weaken the potential of the filter-feeders for removing algae. A new approach to combat eutrophication. Among new facts: the liquid detergent Fairy 2 mg/L inhibited filtration by bivalve filter-feeders mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis within 2-23 min after addition].

Inhibitory analysis in ecology.
This is about a discovery and innovation in environmental sciences and ecology, item 3 on the list of 18 (the list see here [3])
This new approach in ecology allows to see better the real role of organisms of a higher trophic level in regulation of the organisms of a lower trophic level.
The method that was applied was to inhibit the functional activity of the organisms of a higher trophic level and to observe the consequences: what happens with the organisms of a LOWER trophic level.
It was done by the inventor of this methodology in the laboratory experimental systems with bivalve mollusks that that a higher trophic level organisms as compared to phytoplankton algae. The algae are a lower trophic level organisms as compared to bivalve mollusks. The bivalves feed on algae.
In my experiments, I decreased trophic activity of bivalves using special chemical inhibitors. I used my previous discovery that some chemical – surfactants – can decrease filtering activity of bivalves (more about this discovery see: http://sergostroumov.scienceblog.com/2012/04/15/new-facts-on-hazardous-biological-and-toxic-effects-of-surfactants-and-detergents-paradigm-shifted/ ).
The result of this series of experiments was very clear: as a result of my inhibition of the organisms of the higher trophic level (bivalves) I observed a very significant increase in abundance of the organisms of a lower trophic level (algae). The increase was – in some experiments – manifold.
What is the significance of this scientific result? It is really important as the abundance of phytoplankton algae is of great practical importance in such phenomena as eutrophication and algal blooms (also cyanobacterial blooms, red tides, brown tides, etc.). As a result, we got an instrument that helps us to evaluate and quantify the role of organisms of a higher trophic level (such as bivalve mollusks in water bodies and streams) to regulate and control the organisms of a lower trophic level (such as phytoplankton algae and cyanobacteria). Actually it is about how nature prevents us and itself from environmental disasters which happen when we damage those beneficial natural mechanisms of control. We know those disasters under the names of eutrophication and algal blooms.
The summary is given below.
A new approach was developed to explore top-down control in ecosystems: eutrophication, algal bloom, water self-purification.
New facts were discovered by the author about the organisms which are filter-feeders (suspension-feeders), these facts led to developing the new methodology to quantify the natural control mechanisms described above.
This new approach gave methodology to quantitatively estimate the role of organisms in regulation via food web in ecosystem. See more detail about this discovery on the site [1] and in the publication [2].

Part 2. THE LIST OF THE DISCOVERIES, INNOVATIONS, FORMULATED IN ONE-LINE SENTENCES:
1. Innovative conceptualization: how ecosystems improve water quality.
2. Fundamentally new facts: hazardous biological and toxic effects of detergents.
3. Inhibitory analysis: A new method to explore top-down control in ecosystems.
4. A contribution to solution: the problem of criteria for environmental hazards.
5. A new contribution to solution: the problem of eutrophication.
6. New measurements: a quantitative estimate: the role of pellets of mollusks.
7. New facts, discovery: pollutants inhibit: fluxes (flows, transfers) of chemical elements.
8. Biomachinery. A new fundamental concept. New scientific term. Authored by Dr. S.A. O.
9. Modernized Terminology. A new improved definition. What is ‘ecosystem’?
10. New key facts. Scientific basis of technology. New phytotechnology: water treatment.
11. A new step. How to solve the problem. Stability of the biosphere.
12. A new component of the mechanism of regulation. Self-organization in the biosphere.
13. New serious hazards: low-level (sublethal) chemical pollution.
14. A new environmental hazard of pollution: damage to links between parts of ecosystems.
15. A new mechanism. How living organisms change the environment.
16. New fundamental concepts, terminology. Two-level synergism: man-made effects;
17. A new anthropogenic factor: initiation, stimulation of algal blooms.
18. New short list. The most urgent topics: environmental research in 21st
century
