摘要

A direct relationship exists between methane (CH \(_{4}\) ) emissions from rice paddies and their environmental impacts that is already recognised in the scientific community. Changes in rainfall patterns and the increasing frequency of flood events significantly influence CH \(_{4}\) production from rice paddies. While some studies have explored the effects of heavy rainfall on flood occurrences, few have examined their direct connection to methane emissions. This study is divided into two parts: first, we use machine learning (ML) techniques to predict patterns of rainfall across India; second, we suggest a framework that uses explainable AI (XAI), such as SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), to obtain the most important features which affect the CH \(_{4}\) emissions from rice paddies. To assess the performance of these models, we used 10-fold cross-validation, which showed that the Multi-Layer Perceptron outperformed the others. Furthermore, this study highlights the relevance of hyperparameter adjustment in enhancing model accuracy and finding significant features, which is very useful in environmental monitoring applications.
