Soil erosion poses significant environmental and economic challenges, adversely affecting soil fertility and global agricultural productivity. We developed a novel model based on the Multi-Head Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (MH-SE-Res1DNet) to predict the soil erodibility factor (K) across Europe, representing the first application of this model for such a purpose worldwide. We conducted a comparative analysis using five benchmark machine learning algorithms, i.e., Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network–Multilayer Perceptron (ANN-MLP), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Alternating Model Tree (AMT), and Pace Regression (PR), to assess the efficacy of our model. The results showed that the MH-SE-Res1DNet deep learning model had an outstanding ability for the K prediction.map
