The analysis of the composition on the ecologic categories of the mountain region flora of the southern slope of the Gutai Mountains was carried out to monitor the adaptive and evolutionary process of the species. To achieve the spectrum of the ecological categories consideration was given to the preferences of the species against the main ecological factors: edaphic humidity (U), air temperature (T) and soil reaction (R). The results obtained are well-suited to the ecological character of the mountain flora, the stenoionic species illustrate the neutrophilic acid character of soils, with some peculiarities related to the type of mother rocks.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the main methods of assessing the ecological balance of the territories of the Baikal region through a system of quantitative estimates and expert characteristics of the studied processes on the basis of statistical data. The ecological balance of the Baikal Natural Territory as a balanced ratio of natural and modified geo-systems depends on the integrity of the natural frame of the region. The natural framework consists directly of the oz ecosystem. Baikal, the hydrographic network of the lake basin, the natural mountain-taiga and other ecologically significant geosystems that form the natural infrastructure of the region, inextricably linked to the socio-economic infrastructure (socio-economic framework) consisting of a network of human settlements and infrastructure. Natural geosystems, which form the natural framework, are also a special resource for ecological stability (balanced). The electronic map layers of the «Environmental Atlas of the Baikal Region» were used as basic cartographic materials. An inventory was carried out and a database of spatial and non-spatial data on the main indicators of the ecological stability of the territory (natural security, territorial tension and anthropogenic load) was compiled. Attribute data is represented in the form of a set of MapInfo tables with which it is easy to carry out re-structuring operations (changing the structure and composition of tables) data and SQL-queries. Spatial data are presented as a vector topological data model. For the study of the ecological condition of the land of the region, the analysis of land cadastre data reflecting the current state of industrial, forestry, agriculture and other impacts on natural and natural anthropogenic geosystems was carried out. The land of the Baikal region, which is subject to varying degrees of anthropogenic pressure, has been classified. The relative and absolute intensity ratios of the territory have been calculated. The natural land protection factor and the anthropogenic load factor have been determined. The administrative regions are ranked according to the intensity of the ecological state of the lands of the Baikal region.

The article analyzes the distribution of forests in Western Ukraine according to their functional categories and administrative subordination. The research is based on forest management materials provided by the SE «Ukrderzhlisproekt» and data from the State Forest Cadastre. The total forest area in the region amounts to approximately 4.162 million hectares, of which 18.0% are forests designated for conservation, scientific, and historical-cultural purposes, 11.4% are recreational and health forests, 15.4% are protective plantations, and 55.2% are production forests. This structure indicates the multifunctional and rational use of forests. Forests designated for conservation, scientific, and historical-cultural purposes are most prevalent in Chernivtsi (32.8%), Ivano-Frankivsk (22.5%), and Zakarpattia (18.2%) regions. These forested areas are crucial for maintaining ecological balance and preserving biodiversity, especially in the Carpathian mountainous region. Recreational and health forests are most represented in Lviv (19.1%) and Zakarpattia (14.1%) regions, as well as among forests not transferred to user organizations (54.2%). These plantations play a significant role in the development of the region’s tourism and health infrastructure. Protective forests in Western Ukraine are essential for preventing erosion and conserving natural resources. The largest shares of such forests are found in Zakarpattia (26.0%) and Ivano-Frankivsk (25.6%) regions. Forests under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and the State Agency for Water Resources of Ukraine fully perform protective functions, highlighting their ecological importance. Production forests dominate in lowland regions such as Rivne (75.1%) and Khmelnytskyi (49.1%) regions. Forests under the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine are 61.8% utilized for production purposes, forming the basis for the development of the woodworking industry. In mountainous regions like Ivano- Frankivsk (40.8%) and Zakarpattia (41.7%), the share of production forests is lower, reflecting an ecologically oriented approach to forest use. The analysis results indicate prospects for rational management of forest resources in Western Ukraine, aimed at balanced development considering ecological, social, and economic factors.

Abstract The process of landscape-ecological zoning of a large natural object makes it possible to represent spatial combinations of geosystems that perform the most important ecological functions. To preserve them at the level of municipal district government, it is necessary to identify ecologically significant landscapes that can be optimally used in the economy and at the same time being part of the regional system for preserving the natural environment. This is a case study of two municipal districts of Khabarovsk Territory – Vanino and Sovetskaya Gavan, their place in the landscape-ecological zoning of the Northern Sikhote-Alin, the dynamics of spatio-temporal changes in the categories of regional landscape-ecological zoning within these districts have been considered.

There are obstacles in estimating environmental dynamics behind its convenience, beginning with the development of effective policies for sustainable urban development. The objectives of this research were to comprehend the ability and performance of ecological indices integration and to identify the spatial distribution of changes from 2018 to 2021 in Pekanbaru City, Riau province, Indonesia. This study employed remote sensing data to create ecological parameters including the build-up index, vegetation index, soil index, and moisture index, as well as principal component analysis to generate ecological index integration. The findings indicate a correlation of over 90% among these parameters from 2018 to 2021. Overall, there has been a significant decrease in the ecological quality index’s high-quality categories, such as good and excellent, covering a total of 19.6% over 127 km². Conversely, the poor ecological quality category increased to 2.2%, encompassing an area of 15 km², up from the initial 21.2% covering 122 km². Additionally, the fair and moderate categories also experienced increases of 4% and 13.4%, respectively, reaching 28 km² and 84 km². The study area’s ecological quality is largely affected by increased anthropogenic activities, leading to a drastic decrease in the presence of ecological quality in the good and excellent categories. The importance of spatial planning is emphasized to incorporate aspects of ecological assessment rather than solely focusing on increasing economic activity. This outcome can be used to respond to the concept of sustainable development by caring for the ecological environment, particularly in urban areas, and mitigating ecological damage.

Full textAbstract:
As a tool that can effectively support ecosystem management, ecological risk assessment is closely related to the sustainable development of ecosystems and human well-being and has become an active area of research in ecology, geography and other disciplines. Taking Dujiashi Gully for the study of gully loess erosion, a comprehensive risk assessment system for identifying risk probability, sensitivity and impairment was established. The spatial distribution of comprehensive ecological risk was analyzed, the ecological risk management categories were simultaneously delineated based on the risk dominant factor and the risk management strategies were formulated in loess regions. The results were as follows: (1) the spatial differences in comprehensive ecological risk were significantly different in the research area. The regions with extremely high and high risk were mainly located in gully areas and secondary erosion gullies, which are in 28.02% of study area. The extremely low-risk areas covered 1/3 of the study area and were mainly distributed to the northwest and south of the study area, where hills are widely spaced. (2) The combined analysis of ecological risk and terrain found that the elevation decreased first and then rose but the comprehensive ecological risk increased first and then decreased from north to south. Comprehensive ecological risk and terrain generally showed an inverse relationship. (3) The study area was divided into four types of risk management categories. Risk monitoring zones, habitat recovery zones, monitoring and recovery zones and natural regulation zones encompass 14.84%, 12.44%, 26.47% and 46.25% of the study area, respectively. According to four types of risk management categories, different risk reduction measures were designed to improve regional sustainable development capacity. Risk identification and risk management categories based on comprehensive ecological risk model can design a sustainable development path for social ecosystem and local farmers and provide a method for sustainable development for similar gully landscapes.

In this paper a model of assessment the growth dynamics of soybean yield agro-ecological categories was proposed and a generalized characteristic of agro-climatic conditions of soya cultivation productivity in the forest-steppe zone of the Ukraine was performed. Purpose. Soybean is the most common, legume and oilseed crop of our planet. This thermopiles leguminous plant is the short-day plant of the monsoon climate. Subject of the study. Regularities of the agro-climatic conditions influence on the formation of agro-ecological levels of soybean yield. Purpose of the work is to develop a model and assess the impact of agro-climatic conditions on the soybean yield formation and modeling this influence. Methodology. The theoretical basis of the study was to use the basic model of the assessment of agro-climatic resources of crops productivity formation by A.N. Polevoy, based on H.G.Tooming concept about the maximum crop productivity. The model is based on the concepts of four levels of agro-ecological yield categories: potential yield (PY), meteorologically possible yield (MPY), actually possible yield (APY) and yield in the production (YP). Also we will consider the generalized characteristics of cultivation agro-climatic conditions: degree of favoring meteorological conditions of crop cultivation and efficiency of agro-climatic resources use. On the basis of mean annual meteorological and agro-meteorological data, as well as using information on organic and mineral fertilizers application, the formation of different agro-ecological levels of soybean yields in the Ukraine was modeled. Finding. Calculated values allowed us to estimate the dynamics of PY, MPY, APY and YP growth and the course of decadal sums of PAR during the growing season, which were calculated for forest-steppe zone of the Ukraine. The maximum value of PY, MPY, APY, YP growth and PAR sums reached in the eighth decade and are 225.7 g/m2 ∙ dec., 208.9 g/m2 ∙ dec., 126.9 g/m2 ∙ dec., 43.4 g/m2 ∙ dec. and 11.8 kJ/ cm2 ∙ dec. respectively. By the end and PAR sums of the growing season the growths and PAR sums are reducing. Calculated values allowed us to estimate the dynamics of hydrothermal regime of soybeans. Evapotranspiration (E) and evaporation (E0) have a well-defined trend. With increasing air temperature and precipitation the evapotranspiration may increase or decrease. The ratio of evapotranspiration to evaporability (E/E0) characterizes moisture availability of crops and varies from 0.83 relative units to 0.6 relative units by the end of the growing season. On the basis of calculations made the assessment of generalized characteristics of agroclimatic conditions and productivity of soybean cultivation in the forest-steppe zone of the Ukraine. The highest values of grain MPY, grain APY, grain YP observed in forest-steppe areas, the lowest values are typical for areas of Southern Steppe. The highest degree of favoring the meteorological conditions (Km) for soybean cultivation observed in Polesye, the smallest value (Km) is in Southern Steppe. The assessment of the level of agro-climatic resources use efficiency (Kakl) for soybean cultivation showed that the highest value observed in the forest-steppe areas, the lowest value is in Northern Steppe. Conclusions. Thus, using the simulation we evaluated the impact of agro-climatic conditions on the dynamics of agro-ecological yield growth levels of soybean crop and estimated agro-ecological categories of grain yield, as well as estimated degree of favoring agro-climatic conditions for the soybean cultivation in the forest-steppe areas of the Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
In Kohei Saito's ecological Marxism, reification explains how formal economic categories lead to ecological crisis. Saito, however, lacks an account of praxis; of the collective political agency capable of overcoming reification. The relationship between reification and praxis was a central motif of Georg Lukács’ early Marxist work. An integrated concept of reification could then fill this gap in Saito's theory, thereby illuminating the political transition towards ecosocialism. Further, by resolving the ambiguous status of “nature” in Lukács critical theory, which currently blocks the possibility of such a conceptual integration, the critique of reification can be extended to the natural sciences.

Full textAbstract:
Important for promoting the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and sandy areas, ecological networks form the backbone of the regional ecological security pattern. An improved morphological spatial pattern analysis coupled with a minimum cumulative resistance model (MSPA–MCR) based on multi-source data was used to study, on a provincial scale, the ecological security pattern of Ningxia, an ecologically fragile region in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China. The results show the following: (1) A reasonable classification of ecological sources and ecological corridors is key to constructing hierarchical ecological networks. Classifying ecological sources by replacing patch areas with energy factors and identifying the importance of ecological corridors by modifying the gravity model with the energy factors proposed in this paper could improve the rationality of the hierarchical structure division of ecological networks. (2) Grassland as the substrate vegetation type is an important ecological source type in arid and semi-arid ecologically fragile areas, and forests and lake wetlands are the main ecological source types in mountainous areas and oasis areas, respectively. The study area was located in the arid–semi-arid transitional area, with a variety of ecological types, such as mountain, oasis, and desert. Therefore, the complex ecological source types of forest–grassland–wetland appear in some areas. (3) There are 45 ecological patch groups that can be classified as ecological sources in Ningxia, including 10 primary source groups. The number of primary source groups is small, and their spatial distribution is unbalanced. There are two categories of ecological corridors, the river corridor and the mountain corridor, and the network connectivity is poor. (4) The ecological network structure of Ningxia is presented as an ecological security structure consisting of one belt, three screens, three corridors, and five clusters, forming a hierarchical nested ecological network security structure system.

Full textAbstract:
Mountain town ecosystems are fragile and highly susceptible to the impacts of human activities and ecological imbalances. This study aimed to improve the traditional ecological footprint (EF) model by incorporating expanded land functions, localised factors, and temporal continuity. Using Lushan County in Sichuan Province as a case study, we calculated spatial and temporal changes from 2009 to 2022 and evaluated sustainable development through four indicators: ecological pressure, ecological sustainability, ecological occupation, and ecological–economic coordination. The results show that from 2009 to 2022, the per capita ecological carbon footprint in Lushan County decreased by 48%, and the ecological carrying capacity declined by 9%. Despite a more than 73% reduction in the ecological surplus, indicating gradual ecological recovery, Lushan County remains in an ecological deficit state with increasing ecological unsustainability. Only forest land is in an ecological surplus state among the six land use categories, while all other categories are in ecological deficit states. Regarding ecological sustainability assessment, Lushan County’s overall land use is in a strong sustainability state, with the sustainable development index gradually improving. However, ecological–economic coordination remains poor, with a high ecological occupation index and significant ecological pressure, indicating an imbalance between economic development and ecosystem protection. For future sustainable development in mountainous areas, Lushan County should focus on reducing the ecological carbon footprint and enhancing the ecological carrying capacity. These research findings provide valuable insights and methodological references for the sustainable development of mountain towns.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates translation and translational activities under the "translation episteme", which integrates ontological, methodological, and axiological components. It leverages a synergetic concept called "translation space" that aims to create high-quality translations enriched with culturally significant meanings, identifying harmony as the primary axiological factor. The study proposes expanding the criteria for assessing translation quality to include not only the harmonious relationship between the original and translated texts but also the ecological relationship between the translator and recipient. This approach is framed within an ecocentric view of translation, developed in Russia as translation ecology and in China through ecotranslatology. The article outlines the fundamental principles of ecological translation, positioning ecological soundness as a crucial axiological aspect. Research analysis was performed on French scientific texts by philosopher Roland Barthes and their translations into Russian. Findings suggest that while harmony is necessary for ecological soundness, there is no definitive correlation between these axiological categories; a harmonious translation might not be ecologically sound and vice versa.

Ecological safety is not a new area of scientific research, however, there is still no single definition of the concept, and no signs and measures to ensure ecological safety are studied. The paper attempts to consider special aspects of the conceptual framework of environmental and technogenic safety enshrined both in domestic and foreign legislation. The author examines the environmental legislation norms, both Russian and foreign enshrining legal security values in this area, as well as the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; analyzes various views on the concept of ecological safety. The research sets a goal to identify differences in the content of categories under the study, which is a prerequisite for the efficient activity of an executor of law in the sphere of provision of corresponding types of safety. The author attempts to develop a unified approach to the understanding of ecological and technogenic safety firstly as scientific categories, which in the future can become the basis for consistent implementation of national security policy in the framework of the legal protection of the environment to balance private and public interests. The novelty of the study is in the conclusions about the scope and content of the concepts of environmental and technogenic safety. As a result of the study, the author formulates the differences in the wording of such categories as ecological safety and technogenic safety, attributes of ecological and technogenic safety, and gives their definitions.

The rapid development of science and technology results in a change of human lifestyle. The main purpose of the work is to study the philosophy of ecological crisis and the forms of modern dialectics. The idea of "intersubjectivity" will function as our methodological basis. Continuation of Hegel’s ideas and essays of existentialists are related to dialectical processing of thought and technology. The authors note that the modern ecological crisis is connected to the destruction of free thinking. In order to understand the causes behind ecological crisis, it is necessary to distinguish between the philosophy of nature and transcendental nature-teaching.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers conceptual ideas of color categorization as a cultural practice. Color categorization is the process of dividing the color continuum into discrete color groups (color categories) and fixing them in the human mind through the cutural sign system. In modern color studies, this process is viewed from the ecocentric perspective. According to ecocentrism, humans and other living being are equal parts of nature, and they should coexist in harmony and peace. In this regard, it becomes important to search for ecological motivation not only in the human body, but also in human activity, especially in cultural practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze conceptual ideas of color categorization from the ecocentric perspective. The systematization of the indicated conceptual ideas allowed us to identify three key directions based on ecological motivation: (1) nature-centered, (2) body-oriented and (3) socio-cultural. The mentioned directions are formed on the basis of such concepts as "environment", "corporeality" and "sociality", respectively. Acting as the main factors that determine the content and structure of color categories, environment, human body and culture form the main vector of color categorization. The environment comprises a set of objects with chromatic characteristics. They are the material for color categorization, and their configuration sets examples of color combinations. The physiological and biological features of the human body determine the process of color perception and its cognitive processing resulting into color categories. As the color categories become a part of human activity, their cultural semantics is created in the form of cultural meanings and connotations.

Full textAbstract:
Species is considered as a basic unit of biological classification. The species problem goes back to early Greek philosophers and naturalists like Hippocrates, Plato and Aristotle who paid their attention to biological classification. Aristotle was considered as Father of biological classification. As far as species is concerned, his idea was a kind of typological or essentialism. Linnaeus, a great taxonomist was considered as father of taxonomy and the main proposer of typological species concept. Occam did not believe in typological species concept and proposed Nominalistic species concept. However, both these concepts of species could not be accepted by naturalists, biologists and evolutionists. An entirely new species concept emerged after this which was based on reproductive isolation and is called as biological species concept. and is considered as a most widely accepted concept of species although it has certain difficulties in its application. Even Darwin also believed in this species concept. After this period, a number of concepts of species have been suggested by numerous evolutionary biologists: evolutionary species, recognition species, phenetic species, phylogenetic species, ecological species, genetic species, genic species, cohesion species etc. The species is defined in different ways in different concepts of species but none of the species definition is flawless. Darwin, in his transmutation notebook, recognized the reality of species, on the basis of the criterion of noninterbreeding. As a consequence of this, he identified the acquisition of reproductive isolation as the mark of completion of the transition from permanent variety to the status of good species. Different terms related to species such as superspecies, polytypic species, monotypic species, subspecies, semi-species, sibling species, chronospecies, sympatric species, allopatric species, parapatric species and cryptic species have also been explained. In this article various concepts of species which define species in different ways and different terms related to species including intra specific categories are briefly described.

Full textAbstract:
The biomonitoring methods implemented by water authorities are mostly developed for perennial rivers, and do not apply to temporary rivers (TRs). We propose a new classification for TRs to better assess their ecological status. It arises from the LIFE+ TRivers project, which was conducted in the Catalan and the Júcar Mediterranean river basin districts (RBD). The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) provided two systems to set river types (systems A or B from Annex II), which have been officially used by water authorities across Europe to set “national river types” (NRTs). However, essential hydrological variables for TRs are largely omitted. NRTs established according to the WFD were compared with TR categories obtained by using a rainfall-runoff model, “natural flows prescribed regimes” (NFPRs), and with “aquatic phases regimes” (APRs) calculated by using TREHS software. The biological quality indices currently used in Spain, based on macroinvertebrates and diatoms (IBMWP, IMMI-T, and IPS), were compared with a “general degradation” gradient in order to analyze the two TR river classification procedures (NFPR and APR). The results showed that NRTs did not properly classify TRs, and that the APR classification identified ecologically meaningful categories, especially those related to stagnant phases. Four “management temporary river categories” based on APRs are proposed to be used for water managers to properly assess the ecological status of TRs.

Full textAbstract:
In the scientific discourse on consumption, increasingly more attention is being paid to sustainable development. Regarding the fact that not only various types of enterprises, but also consumers contribute to the excessive consumption of natural resources, it is of crucial importance to reduce the knowledge gap in the field of sustainable consumer behavior and decision-making processes related to the choice of organic products. The paper aims to present the decision-making processes of Polish consumers of renewable energy against the background of other categories of ecological products. Special attention is paid to the extent in which the offer is adjusted to the needs of consumers of renewable energy in Poland, compared to other categories of ecological products. The paper also shows the perception of the consumer of ecological products by buyers of renewable energy and by people who do not buy ecological products. The paper is based on a literature review and the results of a quantitative empirical study. The quantitative research was performed on a nationwide sample of 1032 people, among whom 509 people bought an organic product in the last 3 months, and 523 people did not purchase such a product during this period. The analysis of the results allows us to conclude that in the case of renewable energy, factors such as price, quality and the producer’s certification play a crucial role in the decision-making processes of Polish consumers. The hierarchy of criteria considered in the decision-making process related to the purchase of renewable energy and equipment enabling the use of renewable energy sources is quite similar to the one observed when purchasing electric cars. At the same time, it should be noted that almost every second person purchasing renewable energy compares many offers and spends a relatively long time contemplating their choice.

Full textAbstract:
Eco-innovations are increasingly manufactured and consumed across national borders. Although global outsourcing can be financially profitable, it is questionable whether consumers respond to eco-innovations manufactured in different countries in the same way. This article introduces the ecological country-of-manufacture (COM) concept, which reflects consumers’ perception of a country’s commitment to sustainable development policy and practices. Drawing on schema theory, the current research examines how consumer reactions to “ecological (in)congruence”—when the sustainability reputation of a COM is a (mis)match with product eco-friendliness levels—vary across product categories (Study 1a), consumption contexts (Study 1b), and national settings (Study 2). Consumers report more preferential evaluations when there is ecological incongruence for privately consumed products and ecological congruence for publicly consumed products. The results also demonstrate the differential moderating effects of socioeconomic development factors and cultural dimensions. In emerging markets with highly embedded, hierarchical, and high-harmony cultures, consumers require ecological congruence to justify their adoption decisions, whereas in developed markets with highly autonomous, egalitarian, and high-mastery cultures, consumers are more likely to adopt eco-innovations that are ecologically incongruent.

Full textAbstract:
Ecological traps occur when environmental changes cause maladaptive habitat selection. Despite their relevance to metapopulations, ecological traps have been studied predominantly at local scales. How these local impacts scale up to affect the dynamics of spatially structured metapopulations in heterogeneous landscapes remains unexplored. We propose that assessing the metapopulation consequences of traps depends on a variety of factors that can be grouped into four categories: the probability of encounter, the likelihood of selection, the fitness costs of selection and species-specific vulnerability to these costs. We evaluate six hypotheses using a network-based metapopulation model to explore the relative importance of factors across these categories within a spatial context. Our model suggests (i) traps are most severe when they represent a large proportion of habitats, severely reduce fitness and are highly attractive, and (ii) species with high intrinsic fitness will be most susceptible. We provide the first evidence that (iii) traps may be beneficial for metapopulations in rare instances, and (iv) preferences for natal-like habitats can magnify the effects of traps. Our study provides important insight into the effects of traps at landscape scales, and highlights the need to explicitly consider spatial context to better understand and manage traps within metapopulations.

The methodology, structure and major categories of fundamental studies are considered to be carried out within the framework of the Program adopted by the Presidium of Russian Academy of Sciences in accordance with the priority trend in “Depositary functions, indication technology of the state and risks of soil degradation in the system of planning and rational environment conservation in Russia”. These studies are foreseen to be realized according to 5 projects including digital remote sensing inventory and monitoring of arable lands; transformation, evolution and degradation of soils due to agrogenesis and global climate changes; depositary and ecological functions of soils in agrolandscapes; optimal use of the soil resources; analysis of the soil microbiome index in processes associated with the soil formation, organic matter transformation and fine regulation of the vegetative process. Theoretically the above program is based upon the available typology and the system of agro-ecological valuation of lands; methodology and projecting of adaptive-landscape systems in agriculture; the development of the theory of creating and functioning of plant-microbial associations; methods of taxonomic identification of more than 100 soil microbiomes and the development of the theory of soil ecological functions. This methodology differs from available approaches by the fact that the study of soil functions (function groups) is carried out as based upon the statistic and dynamic description of the energy-mass exchange processes at global biosphere levels and services rendered by the soil at the current stage of the human society’s development. A block-scheme of studies and methods has been elaborated. The empiric analysis, physical modeling, the state simulation in space are used at the depositary level. Biocenotic functions are described on the basis of studying the cycles of transformation, monitoring, metagenome indication, digital inventory and the other up-to-date technologies. The objects, categories, basic trends in transformation, evolution and degradation of soils as well as the adaptation, management and regulation practices have been determined; the results of scientific and applied studies are expected to be successfully obtained.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDeep Ecology is a philosophical approach well attuned to Environmental Education. It creates a context in which the natural world can be viewed apart from traditional “useful” human-bound categories. Many educators see the “value” of nature as an educational resource, but fail to notice the deeper meanings recognised by deep ecologists. It is in this inner illumination that deep ecology has its greatest educational appeal. It provides a philosophical setting that encourages individuals to seek meaning outside themselves in nature itself. It promotes direct and personal identification with natural systems as an important path towards ecological consciousness.

One may assign people to three broad categories from an ecological perspective. Ecosystem people meet the bulk of their resource requirements from a limited area near their habitation through gathering or low-input agriculture and animal husbandry. Biosphere people enjoy access to resources garnered from the entire biosphere and made available through markets, while ecological refugees are people that have lost access to their traditional base of natural resources yet have very limited access to resources through markets. In India today the ever-growing pressure of biosphere people is converting an increasingly large proportion of ecosystem people into ecological refugees.

Abstract This paper explores an interpersonal framework for international ecological discourse analysis using systemic functional linguistics. It shows that the sub-categories of the functional interpersonal framework need to be extended in terms of delicacy along the ecological cline to construe the ecological features in the context under investigation. The extension can be achieved through an integration of the following ecological parameters into a functional framework: a system of international ecological factors, a system of international ecological environment, and the international ecosophy “多元和谐, 交互共生” (duoyuan hexie, jiaohu gongsheng, ‘diversity and harmony, interaction and co-existence’). This integration builds an “ecological” interpersonal framework for international ecological discourse analysis, which is composed of an “ecological” Mood system, an “ecological” Modality system, and an “ecological” Appraisal system. The construction of an ecological interpersonal framework is accompanied by specific case analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The identification of regional production-living-ecological space (PLES) is the basic work for the optimization of territorial space, which can point to the direction for the protection, utilization and restoration of regional territorial space. Identification and optimization of PLES in an ecological foundation area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is of great significance for ensuring national ecological security and promoting sustainable social development. In this study, Jiangjin District, located at the tail of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, was selected as a case study. Moreover, based on the land use data of the study area in 2018, the coordination among production, living and ecological functions are analyzed, and the PLES is identified by using the evaluation method of land production-living-ecological function (PLEF) and the coupling coordination degree model. Then, we formulated an optimized zoning scheme of the PLES according to the principles of ecological priority, area advantage and coordinated development. The results show that (1) The living function and production function presented obvious spatial consistency in the study area, while the spatial distribution of ecological function and production function presented significant spatial complementarity. (2) Four categories of spatial combinations can be identified in the study area. Overall, the study area presented a national spatial pattern with production-living-ecological balanced space (PLEBS) and ecological space (ES) as the main body. (3) The PLES in the study area can be divided into four categories. The ecological function should be determined by the ecological conservation area as the primary responsibility, and the comprehensive improvement zone should further improve the coupling and coordination relationship among the PLEF. Moreover, the main production-living and ecological improvement zone and the main production-ecological and living improvement zone should realize the coordinated development of the PLES on the basis of strengthening the leading function.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years the need for ecological literacy and problem solving has increased, but there is no evidence that this need is reflected by increased ecology coverage at institutions of higher education (IHE) across the United States. Because introductory biology courses may serve to direct student interest toward particular biological categories such as ecology, time devoted to topics in these categories within introductory biology courses may be crucial for captivating student interest. In a 2009 survey, members of the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) College and University Sections identified 20 topics they considered essential for inclusion in introductory biology courses. The NABT members, acknowledging the importance of ecological concepts, considered two ecological topics essential. The present study evaluated the actual coverage of ecology and other topic categories compared to recommendations and according to location. For this purpose, lecture and lab syllabi were collected from 26 rural, suburban, and urban IHEs from the Mid-Atlantic region. Course content was divided into eight categories, including ecology, and percentages of total lecture and lab time per category were calculated. This actual coverage was compared to the NABT recommendations. Actual coverage of ecology was not significantly different from coverage recommended by the NABT members, whereas cell/molecular/biochemistry and evolution were lower and genetics, development, and taxonomy were higher than recommended. Course content was also compared by location, with no significant effect of institutional location on ecology coverage. We conclude that although students taking introductory biology courses in Mid-Atlantic IHEs are likely to receive the NABT’s recommended coverage of ecology instruction regardless of institutional location, actual ecology coverage has not increased, regardless of the increased need for ecological literacy.

Full textAbstract:
Ecological rationality results from matching decision strategies to appropriate environmental structures, but how does the matching happen? We propose that people learn the statistical structure of the environment through observation and use this learned structure to guide ecologically rational behavior. We tested this hypothesis in the context of organic foods. In Study 1, we found that products from healthful food categories are more likely to be organic than products from nonhealthful food categories. In Study 2, we found that consumers’ perceptions of the healthfulness and prevalence of organic products in many food categories are accurate. Finally, in Study 3, we found that people perceive organic products as more healthful than nonorganic products when the statistical structure justifies this inference. Our findings suggest that people believe organic foods are more healthful than nonorganic foods and use an organic-food cue to guide their behavior because organic foods are, on average, 30% more healthful.

The work objective is to differentiate rural land of Slovakia with aspect to the possibility of effective rye growing. The differentiation is based on pedo-climatic and production economic parameters. At soil categorization, correlation relationships between the site properties (soil and climatic conditions) and crop biological and agro-technological requirements were considered. Rye requirements were included into yield databases using the software filters in the way that the given site property excluded or limited rye growing, what was reflected in predicted production. The prediction was subsequently interpolated into four suitability categories: soils not suitable for rye growing, less suitable soils, suitable soils and very suitable soils. The database was formed and each of the Bonited Soil-Ecological Units (BSEU) was added in it as well as particular category of suitability for rye growing. By mediation of the Geographic Information System on BSEU distribution in Slovakia, the map of categories of soil suitability for rye growing was also generated. In Slovakia, there is 21% of farmland very suitable for rye growing, 23% suitable, 24% less suitable and 32% non-suitable soils for rye growing according to our calculation. In the paper, these categories are characterized in details and specified from the view of geographic, soil, climatic, productivity, economic and energetic parameters.

Abstract The agroforestry pattern community forest in Kubu Batu Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province has essential values for the community, both economically, ecologically, and socially. Therefore, to ensure the sustainability of the community forest, a forest health assessment is carried out. Forest health assessment is one of the criteria for achieving community forest sustainability. This study aims to determine the condition (status) and ecological factors that affect the health level of community forests using agroforestry patterns in Kubu Batu Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. The research methods used are the Forest Health Monitoring method to measure forest health with the Forest Health Assessment Information System (SIPUT) and sperm rank correlation to determine the relationship between ecological factors and the health level community forests using agroforestry patterns. The results showed the condition (status) of community forest health in agroforestry patterns with good categories in cluster plots 2, 4, 5, and 6, moderate categories in cluster plots 1 and 7, and bad categories in cluster plots 3. Strongly positive/unidirectional agroforestry patterns are the crown condition and tree species diversity. This condition illustrates that it preserves community forests using agroforestry patterns in Kubu Batu Village is necessary to focus tree species diversity attention on tree crown parameters. Thus, the health status of community forest agroforestry patterns in Kubu Batu Village is good. This proves that the people there have made efforts to maintain the sustainability of their community forests.

An effective assessment of ecological health in aquatic ecosystems has become an important issue for researchers, policy-maker and environmentalist globally. The potential of thermodynamic oriented ecological indicators such as eco-exergy (Ex), structural eco-exergy (Exst), phytoplankton biomass (BA), and zooplankton biomass (ZA) in ecological assessment and management were used to calculate the ecological health and then correlated individually as well as multiply of Baiyangdian Lake located in the China. To establish a relationship between sub-EHI values of indicators to the overall EHI, data on thermodynamic indicators of the Baiyangdian lake were calculated from literature. The result indicates the ecological health of Baiyangdian lake is coming under the middle categories i.e. EHI= 40-60. A deeper analysis of the relationship between the thermodynamic parameters and EHI using mini tab software and the multiple regression revealed that the R2>0.9 for Baiyangdian Lake indicates that these correlations could be tentatively used to predict the ecological health of the Baiyangdian Lake in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The necessity of ecological education for coexistence between nature and humans, such as environmental education, ecological education, and ecological transition education, is increasingly emphasized through gradual changes in schools. Therefore, ecological education is now an important educational topic that should be addressed not only in specific subjects such as social studies, morals, science, and environment, but also in all fields. Ecological education in the music field starts from ecological musicology, which explores the relationship between music, culture, and the natural environment, and includes the area of environmental sounds. Therefore, the types of ecological music education that appear in the integrated textbook for elementary schools, “Pleasure Life,” which is being used for the first time in accordance with the revised 2022 curriculum this year, were analyzed by dividing them into ecological education through the text of the original song and sound activities such as exploring, listening to, and imitating environmental sounds. Through this, we examined whether the 2022 revised curriculum music text composition is appropriate in terms of ecological and environmental education, and the most common text related to the 'land ecosystem', while few or no texts such as 'climate change and response', 'marine ecosystem', and 'eco-friendly energy' were used. In addition, the sound activity area was classified into three categories based on soundscape ecology: 'geophony', 'biophony', and 'anthrophony', and it was confirmed that sound activity appeared in all three categories, and that the activity area had a variety of organization ranging from search, listening, and imitation of sound. This analysis is considered to be helpful in setting the direction of ecological music education and operating the subject.
