Assessing the impact of climate-induced biodiversity loss on respiratory health through text classification

Introduction The complex interplay between environmental dynamics, biodiversity loss, and public health necessitates advanced methodologies for quantifying and interpreting their interactions. Respiratory health, highly sensitive to environmental changes, requires particular attention as ecosystems undergo transformations driven by climate stressors. Traditional epidemiological and statistical models often fail to adequately capture the high-dimensional, non-linear, and spatiotemporal characteristics of environmental exposures and their diverse impacts on human health, thereby limiting the derivation of causally interpretable insights from observational data under conditions of biodiversity stress and atmospheric variability. Methods To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel framework integrating a deep learning-based model, GeoExposureNet, with Causal-Aware Adaptive Mapping (CAM), specifically designed for environmental health analysis. GeoExposureNet employs spatial graphs, temporal convolution, and attention mechanisms to encode localized and lagged exposure effects, while CAM incorporates causal reasoning, policy adjustments, and epidemiological priors to refine inference and enable counterfactual simulations. This hybrid approach facilitates the evaluation of respiratory health outcomes across diverse exposure trajectories influenced by biodiversity-related environmental shifts. Results and discussion Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed pipeline not only surpasses conventional baselines in predictive accuracy but also enhances interpretability and intervention strategies by uncovering differential vulnerabilities and exposure-response relationships. This integrative framework represents a significant advancement in modeling climate-sensitive health risks, offering scalable and adaptable tools for researchers and policymakers addressing the intersections of climate change, biodiversity, and public health.
