Modeling Worldwide Tree Biodiversity Using Canopy Structure Metrics from Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Data by Jin Xu, Kjirsten Coleman, Volker C. Radeloff, Melissa Songer, Qiongyu Huang

“…With the launch of NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), we evaluated the efficacy of space-borne lidar metrics in predicting tree species richness globally and explored whether integrating spectral vegetation metrics with space-borne lidar data could improve model performances. Using Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) data, we developed three models using the random forest algorithm to predict global tree species richness across climate zones, including a dynamic habitat index (DHI)-only model, a GEDI-only model, and a combined GEDI-DHI model. …”

Machine Learning Techniques Applied to COVID-19 Prediction: A Systematic Literature Review by Yunyun Cheng, Rong Cheng, Ting Xu, Xiuhui Tan, Yanping Bai

“…By establishing a multi-level classification framework that included traditional statistical models (such as ARIMA), ML models (such as SVM), deep learning (DL) models (such as CNN, LSTM), ensemble learning methods (such as AdaBoost), and hybrid models (such as the fusion architecture of intelligent optimization algorithms and neural networks), it revealed that the hybrid modelling strategy effectively improved the prediction accuracy of the model through feature combination optimization and model cascade integration. …”

Beyond Linearity: Uncovering the Complex Spatiotemporal Drivers of New-Type Urbanization and Eco-Environmental Resilience Coupling in China’s Chengdu–Chongqing Economic Circle with... by Caoxin Chen, Shiyi Wang, Meixi Liu, Ke Huang, Qiuyi Guo, Wei Xie, Jiangjun Wan

“…The results reveal the following: (1) NTU and EER levels steadily improved from 2004 to 2022, although coordination between cities still requires enhancement; (2) CCD exhibited a temporal pattern of “progressive escalation and continuous optimization,” and a spatial pattern of “dual-core leadership and regional diffusion,” with most cities shifting from NTU-lagged to synchronized development; (3) environmental regulations (MAR) and fixed asset investment (FIX) emerged as the most influential CCD drivers, and significant nonlinear interactions were observed, particularly those involving population size (HUM); (4) CCD drivers exhibited complex spatiotemporal heterogeneity, characterized by “stage dominance—marginal variation—spatial mismatch.” …”
