1.2 The law of the biogenic migration of atoms (or the law of Vernadsky):
The migration of chemical elements on the Earth’s surface and in the biosphere as a whole is carried out under the superior influence of living matter, organisms. It happened in the geological past, millions of years ago, and it happens in modern conditions. Living matter either takes part in biochemical processes directly, or creates an appropriate environment enriched with oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and other substances. This law is of practical and theoretical importance. Understanding of all chemical processes that occur in the geospheres is impossible without taking into account the action of biogenic factors, in particular - evolutionary. Nowadays, people influence the state of the biosphere, changing its physical and chemical composition, the conditions of the biogenic migration of atoms balanced by centuries. In the future, this will cause very negative changes that acquire the ability to self-develop and become global, uncontrollable (desertification, soil degradation, extinction of thousands of species of organisms). With the help of this law, one can consciously and actively prevent the development of such negative phenomena, lead biogeochemical processes, using "soft" environmental methods.
1.3 The law of internal dynamic equilibrium
N.F. Reimers described this law, stating that energy, matter, information, and the dynamic quality of individual natural systems, including ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole, and their hierarchies, are interrelated and any change in one of these indicators causes accompanying functional structural quantitative and qualitative changes in all other indicators, keeping the total amount of quality systems.
Substance, energy, information and dynamic qualities of individual natural systems and their hierarchies are very closely related to each other, so that any change in one of the indicators inevitable leads to functional and structural changes in others, but at the same time, the overall quality of the system - energy, information and dynamic . The consequences of this law are found in the fact that after any changes in the elements of the natural environment (material composition, energy, information, speed of natural processes, etc.), chain reactions are necessarily developed, which try to neutralize these changes. It should be noted that a slight change in one indicator may cause strong deviations in others and in the entire ecosystem.
Changes in large ecosystems may be irreversible, and any local transformation of nature will cause in the planet’s biosphere (that is, on a global scale) and in its largest subsections, response reactions that predetermine the relative invariance of the ecological-economic potential. Artificial increase of ecological and economic potential limited by thermodynamic resistance of natural systems.
