Modeling Soil Erosion Susceptibility Using Machine Learning Techniques: Rud‐e‐Faryab Basin, Iran
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a significant threat to water and soil resources, affecting agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and environmental stability. This study models erosion susceptibility in the Rud‐e‐Faryab basin (Bushehr province, Iran) using the BIOMOD‐2 package in R (an ensemble of 10 machine learning algorithms) applied to 10 ...

Abstract Conserving biodiversity, especially in agricultural landscapes, is a major societal challenge. Broad scientific evidence exists on the impacts of single drivers on biodiversity, such as the intensification of agriculture. However, halting biodiversity decline requires a systemic understanding of the interactions between multiple drivers, which
