Problems of Designing the Information Systems for the Quality Monitoring of Protective Consortive Ecotones

We analyzed the methods and means of quality monitoring of the functioning of natural protective forest stands along the railroad tracks. On the basis of experimental studies, we identified the factors of horizontal and vertical structure of protective consortive ecotones (PCE), influencing the effectiveness of protection of the railroad tracks and the natural environment as a whole. We propose structures of basic modules for the quality monitoring system over the functioning of the PCE along the railroad tracks on the basis of the generalized structure of information systems (IS), smart measuring instruments of which can be automatically synthesized by MEMS technology. There was developed a mathematical model of tree diameter growth taking into account the effect of photosynthesis, which will allow predicting the index of PCE condition.
