Most Adirondack Lakes Will Likely Become Unsuitable for Trout
Climate warming and lake browning – when dissolved organic matter from forests turns the water tea-brown – are making the bottom of most lakes in the Adirondacks unlivable for cold water species such as trout, salmon and whitefish during the summer.
Researchers Improve Seed Nitrogen Content by Reducing Plant Chlorophyll Levels
Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis, which is why plants have evolved to have high chlorophyll levels in their leaves.
Study Shows That the Way the Brain Learns is Different From the Way That Artificial Intelligence Systems Learn
The essence of learning is to pinpoint which components in the information-processing pipeline are responsible for an error in output. In artificial intelligence, this is achieved by backpropagation: adjusting a model’s parameters to reduce the error in the output.
BioE Team harness Microbial Consortia to Tackle Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution is increasing rapidly. Every year, the world produces 390 tons of plastic, with a staggering 91% destined for incineration or landfill disposal.
Western Cascades Landscapes in Oregon Historically Burned more often than previously thought
