In the study, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8/9 data, along with terrain, climate, and soil layers, are processed using Google Earth Engine and QGIS. The ecological status is assessed using the Remote Sensing-based Ecological Index (RSEI) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-weighted indices based on vegetation cover, moisture, soil salinity, land surface temperature, and dryness indicators. Random Forest, XGBoost, and U-Net models are employed for classification and prediction, and their performance is evaluated using Overall Accuracy (OA), Kappa, F1-score, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and the coefficient of determination (R²).</p> Mansur Egamberdiyevich Djurayev Jahongir Husenov Copyright (c) 2026 Mansur Egamberdiyevich Djurayev https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-10-07 2026-10-07 6 02 1 5 10.37547/supsci-jgnr-06-02-01
