Based on analysis of the characteristics of critical Ecological Situation in China with the principle of choosing index, a set of indices on the Ecological Situations in China has been brought out, and the mathematical models for each index has been
created. With GIS, and data base management system, this paper classifies each index, calculates their weight by county-level unit, and colligate them into a holistic map of the Ecological Situation in China. Analysis from the map indicates
that the serious Ecological Situation is mainly distributed on the strap of geophysical transition and the lands used by unstable human activities.

This article examines academic jet-setting in a time of climate destabilization associated with professional geographic travel through the concepts of ecological privilege and dys-ecologism. To illustrate this, it measures the flight-related
ecological footprint of the 2011 annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) in Seattle, Washington. It thus highlights the importance of scrutinizing the complex and dynamic interrelationships among consumption; associated socioecological
This review considers the development of wall ecology, highlighting the key characteristics of walls that have been found to influence their ability to support species, with a focus on higher plants. It then examines the kinds of plant assemblages
that are found on walls and the broader role of walls within urban biodiversity, before discussing the potential for ecological engineering of walls. Some progress has recently been made in the latter area with the installation of living walls and the physical

The recognition of the Reserve by the new South African Water Law poses challenges for river scientists. The ecological water requirement or environmental flow is recognised by that part of the Reserve know as the ecological Reserve
. If the ecological Reserve is to be implemented, it must first be defined and quantified. Standard procedures are being developed and are tested on contrasting three rivers. - (AJC)

Firstly, the ecological supply and demand balance was calculated and evaluated, and secondly, the ecological carrying capacity index (ECCI) was derived for each county of China in 2007, and finally this paper systematically evaluated the ecological
carrying capacity supply-demand balance of China. The results showed that ecological deficit appeared to be the main characteristic of ecological carrying capacity supply-demand balance in 2007 of China at county scale. The spatial distribution
of the ecological carrying capacity demand-supply was unbalanced ranging from significant overloading to affluence from southeastern to northwestern part of China. It appeared to be more dominant in regions located at coastal areas which had a generally higher
population density. Along with the rapid development and urbanization trends in China, ecological deficits in these regions will become more severe.
