The analysis is carried out on the background of the historical development of ecology in the twentieth century. Data from the history of aquatic ecology are widely used. It is shown that the difficult perception of ecology is based on both the initial heterogeneity of environmental objects and the inclusion of human society and the geographical landscape in the orbit of environmental studies on the wave of interest in environmental problems. The author considers that necessary to comprehend the biological essence of the ecosystem, organized as a whole due to the vital activity of individuals of the populations included in it.
