Prediction of drought-flood prone zones in inland mountainous regions under climate change with assessment and enhancement strategies for disaster resilience in high-standard farml... by Yongheng Shen, Qingxia Guo, Zhenghao Liu, Yanli Shen, Yikun Jia, Yuehan Wei

“…This study uses a coupled model of particle swarm optimization (PSO), long short-term memory (LSTM), and graph attention network (GAT) integrating historical data to predict drought- and flood-prone areas in 2035 in Heshun County, Shanxi Province, a typical small-scale inland mountainous region of China. Additionally, the study assesses cropland resilience using the TOPSIS method, and based on the spatial distribution of drought and flood disasters, proposes a Flood-Drought-Resilience Analysis (FDRA) framework, further formulating a site selection strategy for future High Standard Farmland (HSF) projects. …”
