Recent technological advances have increased the feasibility of the ‘dynamic management’ of natural resources, which promises to align the spatiotemporal scales of management with ecological variability and resource use. Drawing on Kelty's (2020) concept of ‘contributory autonomy’, this article offers a critical comparison of how participation is conceived of in the more established context of static conservation areas and planning versus the emergent field of dynamic management. A systematic review of the dynamic ocean management literature reveals a varied, but shallow engagement with the topic of stakeholder participation in that context. Whereas static management regimes are governed by relatively intuitive and contestable maps, dynamic management is governed by models and data flows. Overall, the decision-making stakeholder of participatory mapping processes under static management is displaced by the stakeholder conceived as an ‘end-user’ of a dynamic management product and consultant in its design. Yet, these shifts also open up potential points of contestation, which may pattern the future theory and practice of participation in dynamic management: counterdata, countermodelling and data chokepoints. Beyond the empirical focus on oceans, this article contributes to broader conversations about the political stakes of environmental data, and algorithmic and artificial intelligence-driven natural resource conservation by considering how possibilities for participation are foreclosed, enabled and reconstituted by new spatiotemporal and technological conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145146721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I draw on Henri Lefebvre's ideas on the social production of space, especially the spatial triad (space as perceived, conceived, lived), to unpack how physical, ideological and symbolic dimensions of space intersect in these urban gardens. The findings underscore how community gardeners physically transform otherwise neglected land into ‘perceived’ spaces of cultivation, asserting spatial agency despite insecure tenure and limited infrastructure (water access, soil quality). In terms of ‘conceived’ space, gardeners negotiate and subvert top-down planning logics by repurposing school grounds and municipal reserves. Finally, gardens as ‘lived’ space emerge as sites of cultural reclamation and social cohesion, where crops, seed exchanges and collective action sustain memory and identity in the face of apartheid's legacies. However, persistent challenges, such as tenure precarity, resource scarcity and competing land-use pressures, threaten each garden's longevity. These findings are based on semi-structured interviews with representatives of 34 community gardens and key state actors, supplemented by documentary analysis of planning and policy frameworks. Gardens function as urban oases of resistance and resilience. Addressing urban gardens in the largely overlooked Global South context fills a critical gap in urban justice scholarship. High-impact urban planning should aim to help community gardens secure land tenure, embed them in formal spatial frameworks and recognise their multifunctional role in enhancing food security, cultural preservation and equitable urban transformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145102042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These mangrove forests serve as fish nurseries and support economically valuable crustaceans, sustaining local food resources and a thriving fishery. Given the multifaceted role of these mangrove forests as a habitat for this unique capuchin population and as a resource for the local community, our study assesses these forests' past, present and projected future status. We conducted a multiscale land-use change analysis of the Rio Preguiças watershed and at the site of the isolated population of bearded capuchin monkeys. Using Sentinel imagery and high-resolution images collected from unoccupied aerial vehicles, we tracked land cover changes from 2017 to 2023 and projected mangrove forest changes 5 years into the future. Remote sensing and GIS techniques revealed substantial and significant mangrove loss at the culturally important Capuchin mangrove site and substantial and significant forest transitions across the broader watershed. Both regions showed reduced natural land cover and increased human-induced changes, which impacted the forests. Sand dune overwash in mangrove forests alters the mudflat dynamics, reshaping vegetation physiognomies within the mangroves and potentially leading to a decline in the crab population, a primary food source for capuchins and a source of protein and income for the local community.

Considering the high degree of impact beans have on the Brazilian domestic economy and global supply, this study aims to map consolidated bean planting areas and analyse their spatiotemporal evolution from 2011 to 2022. The research comprised four steps: (a) data acquisition on harvested area and quantity produced (2011–2022), (b) identification of agricultural belts using spatiotemporal analysis (Moran's indices and relative frequency), (c) evaluation of production trends (growth and acceleration rates for the three harvest types) and (d) environmental characterisation, considering climate, soil, vegetation and topography. The spatiotemporal analysis identified four primary bean-producing belts: South, Central Brazil, Mato Grosso and Northeast. The Northeast Belt has extensive planted areas but low productivity, dominating family farming and highly vulnerable to climate. The South Bean Belt is Brazil's main producing area, marked by consolidated production with significant contributions from smallholder cooperatives. The Central Brazil and Mato Grosso Bean Belts benefit from agribusiness. The first harvest is widespread and mainly rainfed, whereas the second and third harvests depend more on irrigation, occurring mainly in Central Brazil and the Mato Grosso Bean Belt. Environmental conditions shape productivity, with cold stress affecting the South, water availability and flat terrain favour irrigation and mechanisation in Central Brazil and Mato Grosso Bean Belts, and water scarcity limiting yields in the Northeast Bean Belt. The productive complementarity resulting from regional diversity and the three types of harvest throughout the year guarantee continuous supply and food security.

These approaches overlook socioecological complexity, a gap starkly showcased by the solar energy rollout in agropastoral Rajasthan, with Jaisalmer district as its epicentre. To overcome these limitations, we propose and empirically test the Situated Energy Ecologies principles, which combine (a) a post-productivist approach based on a commitment to energy sufficiency; (b) a commitment to ontological and epistemic recognition, to better capture place-based ways of knowing and being; and (c) autonomous practices based on prefigurative politics and agonism.
