Study on IoT based wild vegetation community ecological monitoring system

This paper presents a study on the Internet of Things based low-power wireless sensor networks for remote monitoring of wildlife ecosystem due to climate change. Especially, it is targeting the wild vegetation communities ecological monitoring. First, this paper is presented the platform concept that can effectively monitor, analyze and predict the ecosystem changes based on Internet of Things technology. Based on this, this paper is proposed the required sensors and system architecture of low-power wireless sensor networks based on Internet of Things for the wild vegetation community ecological monitoring. In addition, the design and implementation results for the main components of the system are shown. Finally, it shows the operating results of test-bed which was applied to real wild trees, using the developed prototype.
