New Featured Article!: “Placing Plants in Territory”

The latest Environment and Society featured article is now available! This month’s article, “Placing Plants in Territory” comes from Volume 7 (2016), a special issue on people and plants edited by Kay E. Lewis-Jones.

Through examples of how plants operate in different domains, they illustrate the analytical potential that a more-than-human approach to territories provides.
