Abstract


In the paper, based on the analysis of works of O.V. Yablokov (2017) about the ele­mentary unit of ecosystems evolution and of M.A. Golubets (2000) about the globality of the evolutionary process of the organic world the attempt to investigate and assign a rank of elementary unit of ecosystems evolution to consortium is made. O.V. Yablokov suggested to consider the biogeocenosis as such unit. We consider that biogeocenosis is a higher than ecosystem hierarchical ecosystem, it is discrete (its limits are distinguished beyond the limits of the phytocenosis) and regarding it as an elementary evolutionary unit of ecosystem is unsuitable. This role is more suitable for populational consortiums of the edificatorial species in which the coevolutional and microevolutional processes take place. The conclusion states that the evolution of the ecosystems does not always follow their transformation.
