Abstract

Development of human civilization results in an increase engaging of natural elements of environment in number of technological processes, technical systems. The new type of the composite nature-anthropogenic systems is forming now. The role of them in a biosphere is far ambiguous. Concept of techno-ecosystem on the example of techno-ecosystem of the power stations is considered.
