“…Jennifer Carter's (2020) editorial for a virtual issue in this journal entitled Biogeographies: Transcending anthropocentrism in the Anthropocene has drawn attention to Jamie's earlier review of the state of play of biogeography in Australia (Kirkpatrick, 1988). Carter writes that "Kirkpatrick … has reviewed (primarily plant) biogeography research and traced the shift from regional and formation-based descriptive accounts to mapping species of economic importance, to powerful computer-based geospatial analyses, and the more recent cultural turn in biogeography" (p. 416).…”

This Festschrift celebrates the distinguished 52‐year academic career of Jamie Kirkpatrick. All thirteen publications by Kirkpatrick in Geographical Research are curated as a virtual issue. Following a consultation process, six papers are highlighted in more detail. These were published from volume 13 to the latest volume. Kirkpatrick's research activities over the past five decades can be broadly sequenced into nine subject areas: (1) eucalypt genecology; (2) bush remnants in cities; (3) biogeography; (4) plant community survey and conservation planning; (5) fire ecology and management; (6) rare species ecology and management; (7) the politics of environment; (8) the socioecology of conservation in rural areas and gardens; and (9) biogeomorphology. His many publications and wide participation in public processes have, according to his own assessment, been a mixture of effective in changing the world, prescient, and wrong.

“…The study is limited in certain respects, and the quantitative method does not provide a comprehensive understanding of philosophies and doctrines underpinning the religions. However, the work provides a novel quantitative attempt to understand geography and religion that could be expanded to other contexts at the borderlands between human and physical geography, especially given grief and the need to focus on hope in light of the Anthropocene, matters discussed in this journal, albeit in other contexts (Bulkeley et al, 2018; Carter, 2020).…”

Increasing attention has been given to geographical contributions to cultural heritage in religion. However, comparative quantitative research remains scarce. As a first attempt, this study presents findings from comparative spatial and statistical analyses of the geographical distribution and features of mountains in China sacred in Taoism and Buddhism. Because both have strong orientations to natural environments, we find more similarities than differences between them, even though the two religions have different origins, philosophies, and doctrines. The results empirically support the influences of Taoism on Buddhism in China, findings that supplement current understandings of Buddhism in China in terms of the geographical dynamics of integration and sinicisation of Chinese culture. The findings also enrich current debates, including in this journal, emphasising the importance of environmental symbols in studies on geography and religion. Connecting humanity with physical geography in light of the changes, including grief, being wrought in the Anthropocene, we hope to inspire more geographically grounded and methodologically eclectic studies on religions.
