Google AI model mines trillions of images to create maps of Earth ‘at any place and time’ Nature - The system will save time spent on processing satellite data, researchers say — but they hope the tech firm will share more about how it works.

Google has released an AI model that acts as a ‘virtual satellite’ to weave together trillions of disparate observations to track changes in land and shallow waters across Earth

List of the main landscape mechanisms found to affect bird communities.

We found:
- Most significant effects at γ-scale ;
- Studies mostly occurring during breeding season ;
- Most of heterogeneity metrics were related to landscape composition.

We tried to summarize the main landscape mechanisms.

Warm-adapted Blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is more abundant near forest edges than in deep forest and may contribute to the community level changes edges of protected areas.

❗ New paper ❗

🐤 Bird communities change differently depending on distance to protected area and habitat type, indicating edge effects in climate change responses. This work was part of Leena Hintsanen's PhD thesis 👏

Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳
Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝
Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe.

besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Natural disturbances are often invoked as an argument against creating new forest reserves. But are reserves more affected by disturbances than managed forests? For C Europe the answer is no, in fact reserves have lower disturbance rate & severity than managed forests! doi.org/10.1111/1365...
