Identifying the Determinants of the Spatial Patterns and Temporal Fluctuation Characteristics of Riverine Pco2 of the Largest Subtropical River Using Machine Learning Methods
Journal of Hydrology Regional Studies(2025)
Abstract
Study region the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), China Study focus Carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange at the riverine water–air interface is critical for global carbon cycle and is controlled by the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2). However, the spatiotemporal characteristics of riverine pCO2 and quantitative contributions of its determinants at large scales are largely unexplored. This study identified the spatial and temporal characteristics of riverine pCO2 in the YRB, and quantified the relative contributions of determinants using a machine learning method (boost regression tree, BRT). This study highlights the differences in determinants of the spatial and temporal characteristics of riverine pCO2, which are important for understanding the riverine carbon cycle. New hydrological insights for the region Riverine pCO2 showed an increasing trend from upstream to downstream and its monthly fluctuations gradually evolved from smooth (upstream) to bimodal mode (downstream), which were identified by the k-Shape clustering algorithm. BRT model with nine determinants of climate, vegetation, and water quality effectively simulated the spatiotemporal characteristics of riverine pCO2. Climate and vegetation factors dominated the spatial distribution of yearly riverine pCO2, with total relative contributions exceeding 92.3 ± 3.3 %. Determinants varied with different fluctuation modes, whereas climate factors still played a major role. As the monthly fluctuations evolved from smooth to bimodal mode, vegetation and water quality factors became more important, with total relative contribution increasing from 32.8 ± 0.7 % to 53.1 ± 4.6 %.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
