fauna posted:they also plant thousands of tiny sub-saplings at once and try to keep them all alive, which is ridiculous and mad. in this essay i will argue that lower numbers of older longstem saplings grown in flexible containers, carefully installed and strategically irrigated offer better potential outcomes in terms of well they should be trying to keep them all alive, the whole point with mass planting is that a bunch are going to die, but a bunch more won't irrigation is a huge issue though, mainly because it seems to almost always get underbudgeted

i tag along in the 2020 candidate thread and I noticed a lot of debate on who is a good leader. Can anyone recommend any books on good leaders, and what makes them? Alternatively, if you cant think of any I will also take suggestions for books on cults and some of the more charismatic serial killers.

You can compensate with a bayesian approach that modifies parameters based on observed outcomes but even that will tend to give you just a rough idea of what to expect in all but the simplest of systems.

It's for the skinniest ecosystems with the highest cheekbones, usually they look a bit like aliens.

The Muppets On PCP posted:doing math stuff to turtles and snowy egrets ah yea I kinda realized that as soon as I posted, dunno why it took so long think I was just tired. I think maybe avshalemon is feeling frustrated with models though because she hasn't realized that, counter-intuitively, ecological models are not primarily for quantifying egrets and turtles. Their real primary purpose is in social engineering. See in order to get anything done on big scales you have to deal with a bunch of assholes who hate the environment and are actively trying to destroy the ecosystem. You need something to shove in their face and say see? if you eat all the egret eggs we'll run out of egrets! I mean the egret eaters will probably just ignore you anyway but if you're up in front of a judge their much more likely to take your side if you have fancy numbers and stuff to back you up

well really it's about finding the optimal number of egret eggs you can eat so as not to upset the population equilibrium

i'm trying an alternative to tubestock for reforestation where trees are grown to an advanced stage in habitat nurseries (basically just greenhouses where bugs aren't kill-on-sight) and interred with great ceremony at about twelve months old, the idea being that you're not planting a field of tomatoes, you're installing a building that just happens to start out as a very small building

i now have a decent idea of the most common reforestation methods in australia and they're all hosed. they're dreamed up by white men and the only things white men can understand are machines, diesel and fields full of neat perfect rows and rows and rows of things all the way to the horizon

hmm have you tried having people abandon vast amounts of land en masse to move to cities or farmlands located a good couple hundred to couple thousand miles away and waiting 50 years? that worked really good for american reforestation
