ABSTRACT
The present paper illustrates the application of a new approach to creating and using virtual models of forest ecosystems using the system for e-learning as a mean of developing a virtual working environment. These matters are especially important for studying the impact of anthropogenic factors on resources condition and biodiversity dynamics within ecosystems, when different groups of researches combine efforts, exchange data and knowledge and coordinate their actions in order to use the information resources most properly.
