AI aids in race to save plant species
Tech is helping to identify and save new specimens and could open ‘genomic goldmine’ of fungi data The rise of AI and digitisation could be a turning point in the “race against extinction” faced by botanists trying to identify and save vital plants before they vanish, according to a major report from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. New technology is enabling scientists to track how flowering times have shifted by weeks around the world, rapidly identify new specimens and even get
Artificial intelligence and digital tools are playing a key role in helping botanists identify and preserve important plant species. These technologies are allowing scientists to track changes in flowering times and quickly identify new plant specimens. Researchers are also extracting genetic data from old fungus samples, which could lead to significant scientific discoveries. Digitization is making millions of plant specimens available online, improving access for scientists worldwide. This advancement is especially beneficial for researchers in developing countries. The use of technology is transforming how botanists approach conservation efforts. These developments could help prevent the loss of crucial plant species.
This progress could significantly impact global efforts to preserve biodiversity and ensure the survival of vital plant species.
