This preprint examined how vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) in Nanchang City evolved from 1998 to 2015 and which factors drove its spatiotemporal patterns, using ArcGIS/Matlab with machine-learning methods (ReliefF, random forest, BP neural network, GRNN) and a geographic detector approach. The authors found that NPP showed an overall fluctuating upward trend with distinct seasonal variation, and spatially exhibited higher values in the middle and lower values toward the edges. They reported that ReliefF had the highest fitting accuracy for NPP regression, and that air temperature and precipitation were identified as the most significant impacts on NPP evolution; in addition, precipitation was most influential spatially, whereas human factors dominated temporal variation per geographic detector results. The paper explicitly notes it is a preprint and not peer reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract In order to determine the evolution characteristics of net primary productivity of vegetation in Nanchang City and the main driving factors influencing its spatiotemporal evolution, based on the ArcGIS and Matlab platforms, ReliefF, Random Forest (RF),BP neural network, GRNN machine learning algorithm and geographic detector were used to quantitatively evaluate the evolution characteristics and spatiotemporal driving factors of Nanchang City from 1998 to 2015.The results show: 1) From a temporal perspective, NPP overall shows a fluctuating upward trend with distinct seasonal variations; spatially, it follows a distribution pattern of higher values in the middle and lower values around the edges; 2) The ReliefF algorithm has the highest fitting accuracy and is more suitable for regression analysis of NPP, with both algorithms indicating that air temperature and precipitation have the most significant impact on NPP evolution; 3) According to the results of the geographic detector, the NPP in Nanchang City is most significantly influenced by precipitation factors spatially, while the temporal dimension is dominated by human factors. In-depth study of the evolution characteristics of NPP can provide a scientific basis for quantifying the health of regional ecosystems and the balance of the ecological environment under the background of climate change.
