Abstract Interactions among plants are changing across the globe resulting from a multitude of changes in environment. Obtaining accurate predictions plant species' range dynamics requires us to account for plant–plant interactions, but this remains challenging using existing species distribution modelling (SDM) techniques. Advanced SDM techniques facilitate integration interactions based on species‐to‐species associations. However, uncharted environmental conditions which formerly derived correlations potentially no longer hold, more process‐based alternative is expected become increasingly relevant. We first review most common that integrate and then present concept novel map product: spatial interaction index (PII) depicting link between focal species’ performance trait signature interacting vegetation. The latest developments remote sensing increasing availability vegetation plot data PII mapping trait–environment relationships. Synthesis : holds potential advance next‐generation biogeographical analyses as it can serve pivotal missing covariate layer necessary into applications.

The accurate prediction of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is crucial for optimizing solar power generation systems, particularly in mountainous areas with complex topography and unique microclimates. These regions face significant challenges due to limited reliable data the dynamic nature local weather conditions, which complicate GHI measurement. scarcity precise impedes development energy models, impacting both economic environmental outcomes. To address these prediction, this paper focuses on various locations Europe Asia Minor, predominantly regions. Advanced machine learning techniques, including random forest (RF) extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) regressors, are employed effectively predict GHI. Additionally, training distribution based cloud opacity values integrating synthetic significantly enhance predictive accuracy, R2 scores ranging from 0.91 0.97 across multiple locations. Furthermore, substantial reductions root mean square error (RMSE), absolute (MAE), bias (MBE) underscore improved reliability predictions. Future research should refine generation, optimize additional meteorological parameter integration, extend methodology new regions, test predicting tilted (GTI). studies expand considerations beyond opacity, incorporating sky cover sunshine duration accuracy reliability.

Accurately estimating gross primary productivity (GPP) is essential for understanding and managing carbon dynamics within an ecosystem. This study investigates the potential of imagery approaches, specifically utilizing Landsat‑8 Sentinel‑2 data, to model GPP in tea ecosystem subtropical region China. While extensive research has focused on cereal crop ecosystems, plantations, despite their global significance as a cash crop, have received limited attention regarding modeling. To address this gap, field campaign was carried out using eddy covariance (EC) system monitor net exchange (NEE) plantations at scale. Pruning recognized crucial management practice growth plants, leading significant variations NEE its components (ecosystem respiration (RES)). Consequently, we selected pruning period, from February June modeling GPP. Traditionally, vegetation photosynthesis models (VPMs) based data required parameterization, posing challenges data-limited scenarios. In study, developed parametric indices such normalized difference index (NDVI) scaled photochemical reflectance (sPRI), which describe both plant structure physiology EC Landsat-8/Sentinel‑2 data. Results indicate that while NDVI partially captures variation (R2 = 0.60) 0.71) imagery, incorporating sPRI significantly enhances agreement between modeled observed (Landsat-8 : R2 0.77, Sentinel-2 0.80). Furthermore, comparing estimates derived (GPPEC) with those Sentinel (GPPSentinel) Landsat (GPPLandsat) reveals GPPSentinel closely aligns GPPEC 0.80), outperforming GPPLandsat various evaluation (index Agreement, Kling-Gupta efficiency, mean bias error, relative percent).
