Besides the investigations into the basic elements of the ecological spatial networks : the ecological matrix areas, corridors of barriers and also the biocores and buffer zones, the analysis of the edge-zones, the so-called ecotons
, is an increasingly popular topic of landscape ecology. The ecological role of the edge zones is proportional to the contrast between the ecological properties of the areas they separate. The ecological contrast is the sharpest possible round the town outskirts. - (ZK)

This interdisciplinary terrain is explored by using the example of an urban cemetery in North London as a starting point. Queer ecology may enrich our understanding of both urban materiality and the role of metaphors in urban theory. This idea

There is danger of moving political ecology toward even greater emphasis on specificity and difference and pushing consideration of broader-scale processes farther into the background. One response to these challenges is to reconsider the concept
of regional political ecologies. Regional approaches can retain the greatest strengths of recent political ecology in revealing the importance of local-scale social dynamics while situating these dynamics within broader scales of regional and global processes.
theoretically nuanced and historically grounded conception of the intersections between critical cultural discourses and recent advances in urban ecology might provide a useful counterpoint to narrowly utilitarian approaches to urban nature.
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 paper reviews the status of scaling issues and tries to find how to extrapolate the observations and findings at site scale up to regional scale and to provide ecological information and interpretations at the regional scale. An integrated
approach to scaling up from site to region is proposed combining hierarchical theory, landscape ecology, remote sensing and GIS.

In this paper, the ecological footprint (EF) was taken as the index of the ecological environmental impact. With the help of Geographic Information System (GIS), the AA. studied the spatiotemporal change of ecological footprint at 2 scales (region
and city) and assessed urban sustainable development ability in Yangtze Delta Region (YDR). Then they discussed the driving factors that affected the change of ecological footprint by the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence
, and Technology (STIRPAT) model. The distribution pattern of ecological footprint and the degree of sustainable development varied distinctly from city to city in YDR. In 2008, the highest values of ecological footprint and the lowest one of sustainable

The aim of this paper is to recognize the most important, from the point of view of ecology, environmental resources of the rural areas in Poland, and their sanitary conditions, as well as to point to the main external (created by non-agricultural
factors) and internal (created by agricultural factors) dangers to the proper functioning of their ecological space in the conditions of strong transformation processes taking place in the rural areas. The paper presents directions of functional changes
