These manuscripts are mainly excerpts from works of various authors, but they also contain Marx's own original ideas and allow us to see his interests before and after the publication of the first volume of Capital in 1867, and the directions he might have taken through his intensive research into disciplines such as biology, chemistry, geology, and mineralogy, much of which he was not able fully to integrate into Capital.

The ecological notebooks show that Marx criticized the capitalist mode of production which inevitably leads to the disturbance of the metabolic interaction (German: stoffwechsel) between humanity and nature, when modern agriculture as a "robbery system" causes soil exhaustion, deforestation and therefore diminishes natural conditions of labor productivity.
