This is the first paper to report concentrations of gold, uranium, other valuable chemical elements in biodetritus (i.e., biological detritus) in sediments in aquatic system. The author, a Fulbright Award winner, conducted innovative and unique experiments. For a number of months, he has created a biological detritus in an experimental water ecosystem. This detritus was generated by both plant and animal aquatic organisms in this water ecosystem. After several months, he collected the detritus and measured the concentrations of a number of chemical elements including gold, uranium and some others (some interesting rare earth elements among them). As a result, he obtained absolutely new and unique data on the biogeochemical role of biological detritus in aquatic ecosystems.
The chemical elements that were found and measured in the biological detritus were:
Ca, Zn, Ba, Br, Ce, Se, Nd, La, U, Hf, Sb, Th, Sm, S, Cs, Au.
This article is absolutely innovative. I recommend it for reading and citation. It will be very useful to all who study chemical ecology, aquatic ecology, biobeochemistry, sediments in water systems.

Biodetritus means biological detritus. This innovative paper presents results on new experiments on creating a model water ecosystem, in which biological detritus is accumulated during several months. This detritus accumulated at the bottom of this aquatic ecosystem. Elemental analysis of the detritus was made. This is a first study to measure and report the concentrations of gold, uranium, some other heavy metals and rare earth elements in biological detritus of this type. The paper is a contribution of new facts to chemical ecology, ecological chemistry, biogeochemistry, geochemistry.
