Paradoxes of modern geoecology

Six paradoxes of modern geoecology as a science are described: the many-sided manner of understanding the content of geoecology, the absence of definite and, especially, of generally accepted theoretical problems of geoecology, the ambiguous attitude of researchers-geoecologists to the necessity of studying the state of biota, the insufficiently considered problem of the inter-disciplinary manner of geoecology, and different points of view on the problems of studying the effects of natural and anthropogenic factors on ecosystems. The causes of these paradoxes are formulated, and the main methods for overcoming them are indicated.
