We developed a new system called ALIVE-KGML that uses satellite images, machine learning, and ground measurements from research sites across the U.S. to estimate how much carbon plants take in and how much water they release into the air. What makes this system different is that it doesn’t just rely on data, it also follows basic rules of nature, like how plants grow and use water. By combining smart computer models with real-world data and natural laws, ALIVE-KGML gives reliable and easy-to-understand information about how the land and environment are changing. This can help scientists, policymakers, and others make better decisions about climate and nature.
