title: Ecological-geological systems of limestone massifs of Mountainous Crimea
abstract: Ecological-geological systems are the main object of research in a new scientific field - ecological geology, which studies ecological functions of the lithosphere. Those functions of carbonate bioliths of the Crimean Mountains are characteristic. The main characteristics of abiotic (lithotope, edaphotope) and biotic (microbiocenosis, phytocenosis and zoocenosis) components of ecological-geological systems developed on limestone massifs of the Crimean Mountains are described.
