Two outlets report on a study that attempts to calculate the timeline for when Earth’s remaining living organisms will eventually cease. The articles describe the scenario in which all forms of life—down to plants such as trees, flowers, and grass—will wither and die over time. The reporting says scientists have estimated a “last life” endpoint for Earth, framing it as a gradual biological and environmental end state rather than an abrupt event.
Both sources use similar wording and present the same central claim: researchers believe they can model when the final persistence of life on the planet will end. The coverage focuses on the idea that, regardless of current conditions, biological life will ultimately run out given longer-term changes to Earth’s environment and resource availability.
Because the provided excerpts do not include specific dates, methods, or numerical results, the synthesis reflects only the shared description of the research premise: estimating when the last life on Earth dies.
