Summary

This survey synthesises the emerging field of physics-guided machine learning, examining how traditional physics-based modelling can be integrated with state-of-the-art ML techniques to address complex engineering and environmental problems. The authors provide a structured taxonomy of existing methodologies and highlight disciplinary knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary opportunities for future research.

Regional applicability

This is a methodological review focused on computational and modelling frameworks rather than agricultural or food systems specifically. Applicability to UK farming and soil health research would depend on whether the reviewed ML-physics integration approaches have been applied to agricultural systems; the abstract does not indicate sector-specific focus.

Key measures

Taxonomy of physics-guided ML models and hybrid physics-ML frameworks; classification of application-centric objective areas

Outcomes reported

A structured overview and taxonomy of methodologies integrating physics-based modelling with machine learning techniques. The review identifies application areas, classes of hybrid approaches, and knowledge gaps across disciplines.
