1. Estimating the life histories and population dynamics of trees is important for predicting how forests respond to climate change disturbances. To do so, ecologist often use stage-structured models, which explicitly account individual heterogeneity. However, data needed parameterise these models typically constrained by time- labour-intensive field methods. 2. Despite growing access remote sensing imagery that could potentially satiate data-hungry remain underutilised in ecology. Here, we...

The recent statement of future (human) extinction by Artificial Intelligence (AI), made the Center for AI Safety, crystallises techno-capitalists’ lack care and responsibility environmental social harms that digital technologies already produce. Rather than identifying their collective roles responsibilities in addressing these harms, Center’s highlights risks, ties to global threats.

Accordingly, MPMs now exist for over 3000 species worldwide.
