To accurately estimate monthly PM2.5 concentrations at 1 km resolution using a novel spatiotemporal random forest model.
Developed a spatiotemporal random forest model for PM2.5 reconstruction.
Integrated satellite data, meteorological variables, and vegetation indices.
Evaluated model performance against conventional datasets and models.
Achieved R² of 0.764, indicating robust predictive ability.
Revealed a significant decline in PM2.5 levels from 2015 to 2020.
Highlighted seasonal patterns with winter peaks and summer troughs.
