“HIGHLIGHTS:
• ViT-based forest mask, multispectral ensemble LandTrendr and terrain shadow mask.
• District-level RF/XGBoost model training with expert-weighted validation.
• Outperformed GFC and REDD + AI benchmarks in accuracy and F1 performance.
• RF excelled in High Mountains/Himalayas; XGBoost in the lower Mountain regions.
• NBR contributed the most; snow-impacted forest loss uncertainty was observed..."
