Short summary
Machine learning is increasingly used in environmental sciences for spatial predictions, but its effectiveness is challenged when models are applied beyond the areas they were trained on. We propose a Local Training Data Point Density (LPD) approach that considers how well a model's environment is represented by training data. This method provides a valuable tool for evaluating model applicability and uncertainties, crucial for broader scientific and practical applications.
