Integrated assessment of ecological status and ecological well-being of water bodies based on monitoring presupposes attributions of the aquatic ecosystems to definite gradations of trophic state and level of pollution. In really these attributions are carried out by means of multi-criteria evaluation. The evaluation uses a number of parameters. Each of them must be indispensable, and the parameters taken together must be sufficient for the precise evaluation. Of course, each of the parameters must be suitable for...

Monitoring of aquatic objects ecological state must include forehanded recognition of critical situations. Therefore, the forecasting widely uses possibilities of computer simulation. Of course, the most complicated and relevant simulation model of an aquatic ecosystem is giant simplification of its real life. Nevertheless, history of mathematical ecology proves that even such simple simulations of population dynamics, as predator-prey models and ones of competition for a resource between two or three species can ...

The relevance of the research is conditioned by the need to develop the theory and practice of integral assessment of the state and emergent properties of complicated natural and social systems, with the use of modern methods of evaluation. The article deals with assessment of stability of the social-ecological-economic system (SEES), being its integrative (complex, emergent) property influencing the "quality of life" of the population. The authors, analyzing a regional SEES, characterize it by the ability to reta...
