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.
