This research maps land susceptibility to wind erosion hazard in Isfahan province, Iran, using sixteen advanced regression-based machine learning methods. Thirteen factors influencing wind erosion were analyzed for multicollinearity, and model performance was assessed using RMSE, MAE, MBE, and Taylor diagrams. Five models (MMLPNN, SGAM, Cforest, BGAM, and SGB) showed high prediction accuracy, with DEM, precipitation, and vegetation (NDVI) identified as the most critical factors.
