Abstract: Accurate soil moisture prediction is critical for improving agricultural practices and managing water supplies. While feature selection techniques have proven useful in enhancing machine learning models’ performance in predicting soil moisture, their adaptation to different soil conditions remains limited. To address this gap, this study presents a novel multisite feature selection framework that draws on meteorological and soil data from three distinct locations with mineral, calcareous, and organic soils. The framework identifies soil-specific features through targeted selection processes and then uses SHAP, an explainable AI technique, to assess their global importance and influence. Furthermore, cross-site validation is performed to assess the transferability and generalizability of selected features, giving insight into their resilience across different environments. The proposed approach, which combines explainable AI and cross-site validation, provides a complete approach to u nderstanding and improving feature relevance for soil moisture prediction. Overall, this study establishes the foundation for building more generalizable and robust predictive models, which will improve their applicability in a variety of agricultural and environmental scenarios.
