Ecological Potential

The concept of ecological potential is realized by development of biogeographical and bioecological maps. Experience of preparation of a set of integrated bioecological maps of Russia of scale 1 : 8 000 000, displaying biot as a whole is presented. It includes maps – Zones and altitudinal zonality types of vegetation of Russia and adjacent territories, Ecoregions of Russia, Bioms of Russia. Maps are developed on the basis of allocation regional (ecological division) and typological (bioms diversity) divisions biote a cover. These divisions can serve basic units at geoinformation researches of modern ecological potential, a binding of the information according to a biodiversity and to a condition biote at national and regional levels. On them it is possible to make inventory of a biodiversity, the major parameter of ecological potential of landscapes, to choose characteristic and unique objects for monitoring and conservations, to planning the actions connected with sustainability progress lands and conservations ecosystems and other.They are directed on revealing of ecological potential of territorial units (zones ecoregions bioregions) through the ecological characteristic biote or on revealing of differentiation biote (zonobioms group of regional bioms regional bioms) through the characteristic of its ecology-typological variety.

Ecological Potential

In this essay, I demonstrate how the ecological concept of “scaling” carries potential to animate critical logics in the Anthropocene. I argue that scaling can expose unexpected linkages across space and time that help to denaturalize particular ecological formations as entangled, rather than separate. I demonstrate the critical ecological potential of scaling by performing it rhizomatically, weaving across scales of space and time while juxtaposing theoretical concepts with my experiences of life as a resident in the urban desert landscape of Phoenix, AZ. This ecology ultimately reveals how climate change acts as a complex necropolitic of the Anthropocene.

Ecological Potential

This article explores the ecological potential in Job 14:7–12. The metaphor in Job 14 praises the life-giving potential of water to revive a dead tree before presenting its transient character, similar to human life. The article investigates the question of why the author of Job finds it appropriate to use water and water-related images to contrast the potential of water to revive a dead tree with the transient mortals who disappear at death like great bodies of water in times of drought. Using elements of historical, critical, and literary approaches, as well as metaphor theory, and applying the Earth Bible Principle of intrinsic worth, this article argues that water should not be viewed as a limitlessly renewable resource, but a precious gift requiring responsible management.

Meta Analyses

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China in late December 2019 became the harbinger of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, geospatial techniques, such as modeling and mapping, have helped in disease pattern detection. Here we provide a synthesis of the techniques and associated findings in relation to COVID-19 and its geographic, environmental, and socio-demographic characteristics, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) methodology for scoping reviews. We searched PubMed for relevant articles and discussed the results separately for three categories: disease mapping, exposure mapping, and spatial epidemiological modeling. The majority of studies were ecological in nature and primarily carried out in China, Brazil, and the USA. The most common spatial methods used were clustering, hotspot analysis, space-time scan statistic, and regression modeling. Researchers used a wide range of spatial and statistical software to apply spatial analysis for the purpose of disease mapping, exposure mapping, and epidemiological modeling. Factors limiting the use of these spatial techniques were the unavailability and bias of COVID-19 data—along with scarcity of fine-scaled demographic, environmental, and socio-economic data—which restrained most of the researchers from exploring causal relationships of potential influencing factors of COVID-19. Our review identified geospatial analysis in COVID-19 research and highlighted current trends and research gaps. Since most of the studies found centered on Asia and the Americas, there is a need for more comparable spatial studies using geographically fine-scaled data in other areas of the world.
