Researchers have developed a new framework using machine learning to identify optimal locations for dryland restoration projects. This approach integrates climate data and remote sensing to predict areas where native vegetation can thrive without extensive irrigation. By analyzing climate suitability and current vegetation cover, the system pinpoints promising sites, reducing the need for costly field surveys and supporting resilient ecosystem recovery. AI
