Abstract
A new approach to estimating the cost of biotic components of ecosyste ms taking into account their energy value is presented. A new method o f calculating damage to ecosystems caused by human activities is consi dered. This method is based on the evaluation of the cost of energy ne cessary to maintain the ecosystems in a stationary state.
