Several major errors need clarification. (1) Section 3.3.3 is duplicated—same heading and opening paragraph repeated (p. 12)—and the Introduction states three themes while the Abstract/Table 1 imply four/seven; which is the actual scope? (2) The claim that Julian Steward developed “cultural ecology” in the 1920s contradicts your cited 1937 source and standard chronology—what is the evidence? (3) Table 1 omits Anthropocene/Capitalocene despite Section 3.3.4, and the review claims to place ecological processes at the core, yet the table and discussion remain largely social-theoretical. (4) The “structured review” method reports no search dates, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or record counts, so the mapping of debates is not reproducible. Please correct these factual, structural, and methodological errors.
