Large-scale planting of trees has been proposed as a low-cost natural
solution for carbon mitigation, but is hampered by poor selection of plantation
sites, especially in developing countries. To aid in site selection, we develop
the ePSA (e-Plantation Site Assistant) recommendation system based on algorithm
fusion that combines physics-based/traditional forestry science knowledge with
machine learning. ePSA assists forest range officers by identifying blank
patches inside forest areas and ranking each such patch based on their tree
growth potential. Experiments, user studies, and deployment results
characterize the utility of the recommender system in shaping the long-term
success of tree plantations as a nature climate solution for carbon mitigation
in northern India and beyond.
