摘　　要：Nature-text is an important concept in ecosemiotics.Unlike the traditional notion of text,nature-text considers natural environments as units of meaning with double dimensions of semiosis,that is,intratextual biosemiosis between organisms and intertextual semiosis in cultural communication.To a great extent,the latter affects meaning generation of the semiotic texts,and the quantity,type and process of the former.As Chinese gardens and penjing are characteristic nature-texts,examining and interpreting them from an ecosemiotic perspective would shed light on the cultural effects on meaning generation and communication of nature-texts,and on the interaction amongst various phases and forms of biosemiosis.
