This study employs multiple machine learning models to assess gully erosion susceptibility in this region. The primary objective is to evaluate and optimize the top-performing model under high-resolution UAV data conditions, utilize the optimized best model to identify key factors influencing the occurrence of gully erosion from 11 variables, and generate a local gully erosion susceptibility map. Using 0.2 m resolution DEM and DOM data obtained from high-resolution UAVs, 2,554,138 pixels from 64 gully and 64 non-gully plots were analyzed and compiled into the research dataset. Twelve models, including Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Classification and Regression Trees, Random Forest, Boosted Regression Trees, Adaptive Boosting, Extreme Gradient Boosting, an Artificial Neural Network, a Convolutional Neural Network, as well as optimized XGBOOST, a CNN with a Multi-Head Attention mechanism, and an ANN with a Multi-Head Attention Mechanism, were utilized to evaluate gully erosion susceptibility in the Dahewan area. The performance of each model was evaluated using ROC curves, and the model fitting performance and robustness were validated through Accuracy and Cohen\u2019s Kappa statistics, as well as RMSE and MAE indicators. The optimized XGBOOST model achieved the highest performance with an AUC-ROC of 0.9909, and through SHAP analysis, we identified roughness as the most significant factor affecting local gully erosion, with a relative importance of 0.277195. Additionally, the Gully Erosion Susceptibility Map generated by the optimized XGBOOST model illustrated the distribution of local gully erosion risks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16244742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]],"date-time":"2024-12-19T08:04:14Z","timestamp":1734595454000},"page":"4742","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Gully Erosion Susceptibility Prediction Using High-Resolution Data: Evaluation, Comparison, and Improvement of Multiple Machine Learning Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Heyang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Jizhong","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Feiyang","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Jingyao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Yucheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/S0341-8162(02)00143-1","article-title":"Gully Erosion and Environmental Change: Importance and Research Needs","volume":"50","author":"Poesen","year":"2003","journal-title":"CATENA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1016\/j.catena.2005.06.001","article-title":"Gully Erosion: Impacts, Factors and Control","volume":"63","author":"Valentin","year":"2005","journal-title":"CATENA"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"336","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earscirev.2016.01.009","article-title":"How Fast Do Gully Headcuts Retreat?","volume":"154","author":"Vanmaercke","year":"2016","journal-title":"Earth-Sci.
