FOR POSTCAPITALIST STUDIES: INHERITING FUTURES OF SPACE AND ECONOMY Social and ecological unravelling presents an unprecedented challenge for thinking and practising liveable economies. Postcapitalism has gained attention as an invitation to amplify existing alternatives to systemic scale. This study resists such temptations of the affirmative in order to ask how restrictive and counterproductive burdens are carried along in emancipatory thought and practice, and how their continuous negotiation might have to redefine postcapitalism itself.

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL TRENDS IN DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF MACROPHYTE BIODIVERSITY IN BOREAL LAKES This thesis studies temporal and spatial biodiversity patterns of vascular aquatic macrophyte communities in small boreal lakes. The focus is on beta diversity-environment relationships and different dimensions of biodiversity, with special attention to functional features. This thesis is based on three separate case studies that all have utilised temporal presence-absence data of vascular aquatic macrophytes from 27-28 lakes from the 1940s to the 2010s.
