Subject to truth: before and after governmentality in Foucault’s 1970s (2016)
Journal Article
Legg, S. (2016). Subject to truth: before and after governmentality in Foucault’s 1970s. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 34(5), https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775816633474

In this paper I situate Foucault’s governmentality analytics between his first lecture course (On the Will to Know, 1970-71) and his first course after his two “governmentality” lectures (On the Government of the Living, 1979-80). The lectures are in... Read More about Subject to truth: before and after governmentality in Foucault’s 1970s.

Working out across Canada: Is there a gender gap? (2016)
Journal Article

Phosphorus recovery as struvite: recent concerns for use of seed, alternative Mg source, nitrogen conservation and fertilizer potential (2016)
Journal Article
Kataki, S., West, H. M., Clarke, M. L., & Baruah, D. C. (2016). Phosphorus recovery as struvite: recent concerns for use of seed, alternative Mg source, nitrogen conservation and fertilizer potential. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2015.12.009

Finite availability of phosphorus (P) resources makes recovery of this non-substitutable plant nutrient from alternative waste sources an increasingly attractive option of renewed interest. In this context, feasibility of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) rec...

Biogeographic ranges do not support niche theory in radiating Canary Island plant clades (2016)
Journal Article
Steinbauer, M. J., Field, R., Fernández-Palacios, J.-M., Irl, S. D., Rüdiger, O., Schaefer, H., & Beierkuhnlein, C. (2016). Biogeographic ranges do not support niche theory in radiating Canary Island plant clades. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 25(7), 792-804. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12425

Aim: Ecological niche concepts, in combination with biogeographic history, underlie our understanding of biogeographic ranges. Two pillars of this understanding are competitive displacement and niche conservatism. The competitive displacement hypothe...

The scale of VGI in map production: a perspective of European National Mapping Agencies (2016)
Journal Article

The perspective of European National Mapping Agencies (NMA) on the role of citizen sensing in map production was explored. The NMAs varied greatly in their engagement with the community generating volunteered geographic information (VGI) and in their...

Stream temperature is a key habitat variable controlling all physical and biological river processes. In light of the threat of climate change to fluvial environments, growing importance is being placed on the need to gain a better understanding of s...

Unbalanced reduction of nutrient loads has created an offshore gradient from phosphorus to nitrogen limitation in the North Sea: Offshore gradient from P to N limitation (2016)
Journal Article
Burson, A., Stomp, M., Akil, L., Brussaard, C. P. D., & Huisman, J. (2016). Unbalanced reduction of nutrient loads has created an offshore gradient from phosphorus to nitrogen limitation in the North Sea: Offshore gradient from P to N limitation. Limnology and Oceanography, 61(3), 869-888. https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.10257

Measures to reduce eutrophication have often led to a more effective decline of phosphorus (P) than nitrogen (N) concentrations. The resultant changes in riverine nutrient loads can cause an increase in the N : P ratios of coastal waters. During four...

Toward integrated historical climate research: the example of atmospheric circulation reconstructions over the earth (2016)
Journal Article

Toward integrated historical climate research: the example of atmospheric circulation reconstructions over the earth. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 7(2), 164-174. https://doi.org/10.1002/wcc.379

Climate change has become a key environmental narrative of the 21st century. However, emphasis on the science of climate change has overshadowed studies focusing on human interpretations of climate history, of adaptation and resilience, and of explor...

This paper argues that new rounds of socioeconomic reforms in post-1949 China, each with their distinct geographical expressions, constitute a complex palimpsest rather than a straightforward process of historical succession. Drawing on a review of e... Read More about On the shifting spatial logics of socioeconomic regulation in post-1949 China.
