The FTBSC-KGML framework builds on the SDSA-KGML model by introducing a transfer-learning mechanism, enhancing global-to-local transfer and site-specific calibration under feature heterogeneity. This hybrid approach leverages aggregated multi-state training for robust initialization and then fine-tunes locally to capture site-dependent process sensitivities, mitigating overfitting in data-limited regions.

Our experimental evaluation confirms that FTBSC-KGML consistently achieves lower validation error than site-only training. It demonstrates superior accuracy and generalization across multiple states, particularly in data-limited regions. The framework proves robust to variations in hyperparameters like learning rate and batch size, maintaining stable performance due to its knowledge-guided regularization.

Addressing spatial heterogeneity is crucial for accurate land emissions modeling. FTBSC-KGML explicitly accounts for regional variations in climate, soil, and management practices through location-dependent parameters. This allows the model to capture within-region variability more faithfully, improving local accuracy while retaining site-specific interpretability.

Case Study: Midwest Agroecosystems

In a study across Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana, FTBSC-KGML demonstrated significant improvements in predicting carbon fluxes and crop yields. By fine-tuning a globally pretrained model with site-level data, it achieved lower validation MSE and better captured spatial variability than traditional methods. This efficiency gain is particularly crucial for sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation efforts.

Key Takeaway: FTBSC-KGML provides superior accuracy in diverse agroecosystems, critical for climate-smart agriculture initiatives.
