From autonomous to autonomist geographies (2022)
Journal Article
Gray, N., & Clare, N. (2022). From autonomous to autonomist geographies. Progress in Human Geography, 46(5), 1185-1206. https://doi.org/10.1177/03091325221114347

Autonomist Marxist ideas and concepts are resurgent and, with their latent spatiality, are well placed to contribute to radical geographical debates. In particular, the methodology of ‘class composition’ analysis provides a rigorous, materialist crit... Read More about From autonomous to autonomist geographies.

Geodiversity and biodiversity on a volcanic island: The role of scattered phonolites for plant diversity and performance (2022)
Journal Article
Kienle, D., Walentowitz, A., Sungur, L., Chiarucci, A., Irl, S. D., Jentsch, A., Vetaas, O. R., Field, R., & Beierkuhnlein, C. (2022).

Oceanic islands are cradles of endemism, contributing substantially to global biodiversity. A similarity in magmatic origin translates into high global comparability of substrates of volcanic islands on the oceanic crust with, however, slightly chemi...

Lianas (woody vines) are abundant and diverse, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Lianas use trees for structural support to reach the forest canopy, often putting leaves above their host tree. Thus they are major parts of many forest canopies. Yet... Read More about Making (remote) sense of lianas.
