Gramsci in green : neoliberal hegemony through urban forestry and the potential for a political ecology of praxis
Civil society ; Forestry ; Hegemony ; Ideology ; Neo liberalism ; Pedagogy ; Political ecology ; United States of America ; Wisconsin
A Gramscian perspective and data gathered from 20 in-depth interviews with foresters are used to theorize how rollout policy is deployed through urban forestry (Wisconsin, USA) to extend market hegemony to new geographies. The state's market
-oriented regulatory legitimacy is consolidated through the apparently benign act of promoting urban forestry.

In this article, the AA. examine urban political ecology (UPE) and African urbanism, specifically in South Africa. They suggest that this approach calls attention to the possibilities that emerge when starting with the everyday and considering

Urbanisation-okologische Grundlagen, Probleme und Ausblick. (Urbanisation-ecological fundamentals, problems and outlook)
The structure of the system of urban sphere is interpreted by a comparison between almost natural and urban ecosystems. Specific characteristics and functions of urban ecosystems are described, which, for instance result in high productivity

correlation analysis. It is shown that population distribution, economic level and industrial structure were all important influencing factors. Population density, urbanization level, economic density were all shown to be positively related to total ecological
Ecological land rent is the excess profit produced by resource scarcity. This paper, by calculating the respective ecological land rents of all the provinces in China for the years 2002 and 2007, and with the assistance of the software programs
ArcGIS and GeoDA, analyzes the spatial differentiation characteristics of ecological land rent; then, the influencing factors of ecological land rent differentiation among the provinces are examined using the methods of traditional regression and spatial
land rent. However, there was also a negative correlation between ecological land rent and agricultural output percentage.

This article examines the Piedmont megapolitan political ecology and urban metabolism in Southern Appalachia. First, it considers the central role urban metabolic connections play in the region's pressing social and environmental crises. Second
, it illuminates these human and nonhuman urban metabolisms across the Piedmont megapolitan region using data from the Coweeta Long-Term Eco-logical Research (LTER) program, especially highlighting a growing “ring of asphalt” that epito-mizes several developing
changes to patterns of metabolism. The conclusion suggests that changing urban metabolisms indicated by Coweeta LTER data, ranging from flows of people to flows of wa-ter, pose a complicated problem for regional governance and vitality in the future.

population density. Along with the rapid development and urbanization trends in China, ecological deficits in these regions will become more severe.
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
