slide1. Dendrometer band Temp & moisture soil Background - International attempts to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations, aimed at stabilizing human induced climate change, require a detailed understanding of the current and potential future role of forests to sequester carbon. Accurate, high frequency and reliable measurements are therefore vital in developing effective mitigation strategies and help to improve understanding of the other ecosystem services provided by forests. To develop an IoT based forest monitoring device suitable for long-term use at remote rural locations
Test these devices at two contrasting forest sites in the UK (upland conifer & lowland oak forest)
To investigate - NB IoT signal strength and reliability, battery consumption, data quality and suitability for research and applied applications Conclusion – The study has successfully demonstrated the suitability of NB-IoT for long-term monitoring applications at remote forest sites. The development of this technology for environmental monitoring has the potential to provide data at higher spatial and temporal resolutions and at lower costs than is currently achievable. Batt (v) Air T (°C) Soil M Δcir (mm) Environmental and growth data measured reliably and to high standards
Data capture >95% at the oak site, variable at the conifer site, possibly due to signal attenuation by the dense and humid canopy Measuring and monitoring trees and forests using a novel IoT appoach Wilkinson, M.1, Bell, M.1, Baer, T.2 & Xenakis, G.2 1Forest Research, Alice Holt Lodge, GU10 4LH 2 Forest Research, Northern Research Station, EH25 9SY Image from Vodafone Acknowledgements – thanks to DEFRA for funding this project and to Vodafone for their valuable technical input. ©Crown Copyright RH (%)<br>
