The purpose of this work is to illustrate the need for more precise analysis of issues related to soil-forming processes as services of the environment in terms of economy and practical applications. The term services of environment means the production of services by ecosystems, in the form of supplying matter, energy and information necessary for human life. The sources of production of those services in ecosystems come from their components which are in turn organized into structures. Changes in soil-forming processes in ecosystems are a consequence of physical, chemical, physiochemical and biological factors. Changes in soil-forming processes in ecosystems influence natural environment and therefore affect social and economic fields. One may argue that problems associated with preservation of soil-forming processes in ecosystems may result in many consequences in the field of economy. The estimation of the services of the environment (ecosystems) in terms of expenditures as well as consequences such as exploitation and degradation of biosphere is of significant importance.

The author of the paper attempts to present the concept of the biological basis for sustainable development based on knowledge. Her research areas include the concept of ecosystem, theory of biodiversity and ecology of species. A new paradigm of development takes into account current assumption of the existence of a dynamic equilibrium in ecosystems. Constant balance of ecological systems theory is a concept that has great utility model. However, keep in mind that the test is based on reality of the phenomena and dynamic processes which are influenced by the specific conditions and balancing mechanisms (natural and anthropogenic homeostatic mechanisms). State ecosystems in macrosystem society–economy–environment are always closer to or further defined as a model-based point of balance. Taking into account the dynamism of ecosystems and biological basis set leads to questions about precisely optimized management development of macrosystem society–economy–environment. They are a challenge for the emerging economy for sustainable development.

The author shows in his article that hopes related to globalization, which were also supposed to overcome the results of ecological crisis, have not come true. Such status quo is connected with the fact that nowadays the man has biggest influence on functioning of the world ecosystem, the man who exists in two environments simultaneously: social and cultural ones. According to the author all crisis phenomena have a global range, and what is more they consist of both environments in which the man functions. Therefore, every crisis, ecological one included, is severely felt, especially by people. Human communities were able to function in any environment, if they could accept and realize a form of the rule of sustainable development, which included functioning of anthroposphere and biosphere at the same time. Communities which were not able to do this were collapsing and even disappeared. Concluding, the author claims that also now there exists such a requirement, and thus the rule of sustainable development, propagated nowadays, is a consequence of historical experience of our species and the best way to provide optimum conditions of development for both humanity and natural environment.

The article considers the influence of railway transport on the environment. The ways to reduce ecodestructive load of transport on the environment are presented. Necessity of the transition the railway transport to electric power is grounded. A procedure for calculating the economic damage from the impact of rail transport on the environment is suggested. The necessity of adding the new parameter is specified to take into account the locomotives moving regime at different capacities, which affects the mass of emissions.

This paper proposes a structured approach to the choice of strategies of wetlands ecosystem services management. Presented decomposition of strategies of wetlands ecosystem services management is categorized by such criteria: the general and the dominant strategies, strategy in a manner to achieve the purpose of managing ecosystem services; strategy in character of behaviour of subjects of wetlands ecosystem services management; targeted strategies for the content of such services. Detailed elaboration of strategies of wetlands ecosystem services management is characterized by the following parameters: a vector of strategies influence; the behaviour of the subjects of management of ecosystem services, as well as the kinds of such services. The process of decision-making for the management and selection of strategies of wetlands ecosystem services management requires the formation of a system of evaluation of the effectiveness of wetlands ecosystem services management on the basis of indicators of different types of ecosystem services of wetlands and their losses.

In this paper author looks at economic system as a part (subsystem) of ecosystem. The nearer the subsystem approaches the total system in scale, the more it must become like the total system in its basic characteristics – finitude, nongrowth, material closure, and reliance on the flow of sunlight as its main energy source. The path of progress for the economy must shift from quantitative growth to qualitative development. It must enter a phase of sustainable development – qualitative improvement without quantitative expansion – a steady-state economy.
