Variable-importance analyses indicated that habitat suitability is primarily governed by edaphic factors, especially Clay content, Organic Matter, and Phosphorus, alongside anthropogenic dispersal pathways including proximity to roads and rivers. The resulting Habitat Suitability Maps (HSMs) reveal substantial areas of High and Very High suitability, accounting for 22.9% of the province under the RF–CatBoost model, thus offering a robust evidence base for Precision Weed Management (PWM).

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning (DL), have enabled the development of precise and automated weed detection systems. This review explores the state-of-the-art in deep learning-based weed detection, with a focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), imaging sensors, and computer vision techniques. UAVs, equipped with various imaging sensors, offer high-resolution imagery for site-specific weed monitoring. DL models including one-stage detectors such as YOLO, RetinaNet, EfficientDet, and CenterNet, and two-stage detectors like Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN have demonstrated strong performance in weed localization and classification tasks. While one-stage models provide faster inference for real-time applications, two-stage models typically offer higher accuracy at the cost of increased computational demands. Segmentation models such as U-Net and DeepLab further enable pixel-level weed mapping, crucial for estimating coverage and guiding targeted interventions. This paper also outlines the complete training pipeline for DL models, including data acquisition, annotation, preprocessing, model selection, and evaluation using metrics like precision, recall, mAP, and inference time. Additionally, the role of supervised, semi-supervised, and self-supervised learning paradigms is discussed in addressing data scarcity and annotation challenges. Future research should focus on improving model generalization, enabling edge deployment for real-time field applications, and developing robust, diverse datasets.

It is a multivariate time series classification task. However, existing methods are limited to capturing feature interactions only within local trajectory points, without fully utilizing the global contextual information hidden within the trajectory. To effectively model the contextual information of trajectories to accurately identify operation modes pattern of agricultural machinery, we propose a dual-domain context-aware network (DCANet). First, we propose a multi-angle feature enhancement method that uses physical kinematics formulas and mathematical statistics methods to expand the feature set of trajectories, thereby fully exploiting the inherent information. We then design a frequency-domain context-aware module consisting of two components: a local awareness bottleneck module and a learnable frequency-domain attention context module. The former is used to model the local dependencies. Based on this, the latter uses a discrete wavelet transform and a multi-head attention mechanism to calculate the correlation and dependency of trajectory features in multiple frequency subspaces, adaptively analysing trajectory feature changes in the time-frequency domain. Finally, we design an information aggregation context module. Based on the construction of the spatiotemporal relationship graph of agricultural machinery trajectory points, we combine it with a multi-filter graph convolution operator to capture the multi-scale features of trajectory points in different channels. To validate DCANet, we evaluated it on 3 datasets against 12 related methods.
