ForestNet Deep Learning Framework for Forest Intelligence Analysis

Overview

ForestNet is a novel deep learning framework designed to analyze and quantify collective forest intelligence through multi-variable temporal-spatial analysis. This research explores the hypothesis that forests exhibit emergent intelligent behaviors through their collective responses to environmental changes and stressors.

Key Features

• Multi-scale temporal-spatial analysis of forest ecosystems
• Integration of multiple environmental variables
• Advanced LSTM-based predictive modeling
• Quantifiable intelligence metrics
• High-resolution data processing (50x50 grid)
• 5-year temporal analysis window

Dataset Description

SylvaNet utilizes multiple environmental variables collected over a 5-year period:

Variable	Resolution	Frequency	Source
NDVI	50x50 grid	Daily	MODIS
Temperature	50x50 grid	Daily	MODIS
Precipitation	50x50 grid	Daily	MODIS
Soil Moisture	50x50 grid	Daily	MODIS
Solar Radiation	50x50 grid	Daily	MODIS

Model Performance

Intelligence metrics are calculated across three dimensions:

1. Prediction Accuracy (0-1)

   • Measures the model's ability to predict forest behavior
   • Typical range: 0.5-0.8

2. Synchronization Score (0-1)

   • Quantifies coordinated responses across forest regions
   • Typical range: 0.3-0.6

3. Adaptive Capacity (0-1)

   • Evaluates forest learning and adaptation
   • Typical range: 0.4-0.7

Todo List
