新的树木监测系统:从工业4.0到自然4.0
最近,物联网(IoT)技术发展迅速,为以极低的成本提高我们的环境监测能力提供了独特的机会。物联网是一种新的思维系统,在这种思维系统中,物体、动物或人都配备了唯一的标识符,并在不需要人与人或人机交互的情况下通过网络传输数据。物联网是从无线技术、微机电系统(MEMS)和互联网的融合发展而来的。这些技术在环境监测领域的发展使得实时数据传输和大量低成本监测点成为可能。我们设计了一个新的装置,TreeTalker©,它能够测量树木的水分输送,直径生长,叶片的光谱特征和小气候参数,并半实时传输数据。在这里,我们介绍了该设备的特点,提供了一个来自现场测试站点的监测数据示例,并讨论了这项新技术在各种环境下的树木监测应用,从森林到城市绿色基础设施管理和生态研究。
