Integrating environmental and LULC drivers of groundwater droughts in groundwater-dependent ecosystems: a machine learning (XGBoost)-SEM analysis with ecosystem implications by Kawawa Banda, Christopher Shilengwe, Imasiku Nyambe

“…Methods Influencing factors, which include meterological drought indicators (such as Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, SPEI), teleconnection factors (ENSO, PDO and AMO), and anthropogenic factors (land use and land cover (LULC)), were investigated and quantitatively compared based on Spearman correlation analysis and a decision tree machine learning model (extreme gradient boosting, XGBoost). Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was then used to explain latent (important) factors in the nexus of climate variability—LULC dynamics to groundwater response. …”
