Basic Division: Department of Biogeocenology and Environmental Protection.

 

Brief Description of Research Activities

The range of scientific problems studied within the programme: investigation of anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems as a transformation determined by direct or indirect human activity; detection of transformation phases (autotrophic, heterotrophic, saprotrophic and abiogenous) depending on the changes in the components of fundamental state biota; development of technologies aimed at assessment and risk management in the sphere of resource use, nature preservation, environmental protection and refuse dumps.
