*preprint* Chengxiang Lou asked symbolic regression can find indices that predict alfalfa biomass from hyperspectral measurements. It can, but they tended to be complex & simpler equations had similar performance. W/Zhou Zhang, David Montero Loaiza & José Franco doi.org/10.22541/ess...

Symbolic regression for discovering vegetation indices: a case study using alfalfa biomass estimation

Predicting crop yield accurately is crucial for agricultural management. Traditional methods often rely on predefined vegetation indices derived from remote sensing data, which may not fully capture t...

Modeling ozone deposition through plant stomata is tricky because simulating water limitation is a challenge, and O3 itself impacts stomatal functioning. Anam Khan and others demonstrate the key roles of soil moisture and VPD on stomatal ozone dry deposition models acp.copernicus.org/articles/25/...

This is twice as money much as the Department of Energy spends on solar power R&D. We could have more solar power but instead we’re paying to build detention camps.

FEMA is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration’s push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

FEMA to send states $608 million to build migrant detention centers

FEMA is starting a “detention support grant program” to cover the cost of states building temporary facilities, according to an agency announcement.
