Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While most frontier studies associate commodity expansions with dispossession, I argue that such expansions can also function as ‘civilizational’ projects aimed at overcoming traditional farming and creating new rural subjects better suited to the needs of capitalist development. Using a Gramscian approach to study subsumption, I analyse three

Stability study on reinforced embankment under action of rise and fall of water levels
Yantu gongcheng xuebaoThe highway damage due to floods is becoming more frequent, and the rise and fall of water levels caused by the floods has irreversible damage to road embankments. Taking the reinforced embankment slope as the research object, considering the reinforcing

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Cooling Effect of Crushed Rock-Based Embankment along the Chaidaer-Muli Railway
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015 This paper presents an experimental study of the cooling effect of crushed rock-based embankment on slope wetlands along the Chaidaer-Muli Railway. The result shows that only the embankment shady side can be effectively cooled down in a warm permafrost ...

Estimating the greenhouse gas emission abatement potential of tidal introduction in Australia
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands store higher amounts of organic carbon and sequester it at higher rates in soil relative to terrestrial ecosystems. However, they have been extensively drained, excavated, or modified, often to allow agriculture. Restoring degraded coastal wetlands can be an important contribution to climate change mitigation by ...
