In her paper "A sociology of vegetal life: rethinking ‘harmony’ and ‘nativism’ in Miyawaki forests“ Charrlotte Adelina "traces the genealogy of the “Miyawaki forest” or “Tiny Forest” concept and shows how right-wing ideologies were fueled by organicism in plant thinking. Her work argues that "such provincial epistemologies continue to pose reverberations onto the ‘nativist’ ethos of greening programs and urban forests today“.
