Abstract
The theoretical component of the introductory process from the standpoint of the laws of thermodynamics is determined. At the ecosystem level, vegetation groups with specific environmental conditions characteristic of each species have been analyzed. The information resource approach is proposed as a biotechnical analogue for the study of the structural and functional organization of ecosystems of different levels of the hierarchy and ten basic characteristics are determined from their evaluation.
