Abstract: | The current state of the ecology of the impact regions is outlined. It is argued that the complex of ecosystems situated around
a point polluter (an impact region) is an appropriate model for solving several fundamental and applied ecological problems
related to the exploration of strong external impacts on biota. Typical methodological errors resulting from insufficient
attention to specific features of passive experiments are analysed, and ways to avoid them are proposed. The principles of
spatial arrangements of study sites within the impact region and of the selection of experimental and evaluation units are
discussed. |
