The paper presents a Monte Carlo-based framework to quantify the green benefits of an AI-driven smart agriculture platform in Hainan. By integrating large-language-model question answering, multimodal pest diagnosis, IoT sensing, satellite remote sensing, and a closed-loop field record system, the study builds a cradle-to-farm-gate carbon accounting model and simulates three crop scenarios (mango, winter vegetable, rice). Results show median reductions of 23.5% in pesticide use, 21.0% in fertilizer, 16.5% in irrigation water, and 21.5% in carbon intensity, with high probabilities for fertilizer and carbon reductions but lower for water savings.
arXiv:2607. 00834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional soil analysis methods, offering advantages such as speed, low cost, and non-destructive testing.
The paper presents a new method for sensitivity analysis of decision rules in an agent‑based agro‑ecological model. It treats the decision structure as a hierarchical design space, using a random‑forest‑supervised HSIC‑ANOVA to rank main effects and interactions across both categorical and numerical variables. The approach is applied to outputs such as nitrogen leaching, soil organic carbon variation, and yield predictions, providing an interpretable, decision‑oriented analysis.
