Abstract

The coffee-pine agroforestry model, where coffee is grown under shade trees, provides environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration and soil health improvement. However, maintaining carbon stocks over time is challenging due to climate change, which alters water and nutrient availability. Using the WaNuLCAS model, this study assessed system optimization under various climate scenarios, focusing on coffee yield, carbon stock, and biomass balance. The model simulates water and nitrogen cycling as well as coffee–pine interactions. The results showed that an increase in rainy season enhanced coffee growth, while applying Best Management Practice (BMP) led to a 44.64% higher coffee yield and a 4.52% increase in biomass production compared with the control. Conversely, low coffee (LC) with poor management increased carbon stock by 6.91% and biomass by 26.74%, the largest differences observed between treatments. This highlights trade-offs in land use performance. Previous studies mainly emphasized agroforestry’s contributions to carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and timber, with limited quantification of trade-offs between yield, carbon, and biomass under varying rainfall. By integrating site-specific calibration of the WaNuLCAS model, this study offers a novel approach showing how contrasting strategies (BMP vs. LC) differently optimize productivity and ecological services, guiding climate-resilient coffee agroforestry.

Abstract

Graduate employability remains a high concern for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, particularly within Malaysia’s Technical University Network (MTUN), where producing industry-ready graduates is a central goal. While machine learning has transformed fields like healthcare and finance, its application in vocational education remains underexplored—particularly for employability prediction. This study addresses this gap by hybridizing decision trees and clustering to uncover non-linear patterns in student survey data. Guided by Human Capital Theory and SERVQUAL, which inform variable selection (e.g., technical skills as productivity investments), this study integrates multiple linear regression, decision tree regression, and K-Means clustering to identify significant predictors and uncover latent student groupings. Using a publicly available dataset of Likert-scale responses from MTUN students, technical skills and supervisory support consistently emerged as the most impactful employability predictors. Communication showed moderate influence, while training delivery and problem-solving exhibited variable effects depending on the modelling approach. Unlike regression, decision trees revealed non-linear interaction thresholds. For example, students with SVR < 3.5 and TS < 4.0 had 40% lower employability scores, suggesting targeted mentoring could yield disproportionate improvements. Clustering revealed three distinct student profiles, which could support data-driven interventions. This hybrid framework demonstrates the potential for integrating machine learning into institutional analytics for proactive support of employability.
