Description
Design of sensor networks suitable for the continuous monitoring and control of forestry, agricultural and livestock production processes in the dehesa area, both to assess the density of vegetation cover and to quantify losses.
Contextual description
Wireless sensor networks have become an increasingly common tool in rural communities for capturing data on the physical environment, providing continuous information about the physical landscape. One of the challenges these networks face is maintaining connectivity between their various components. In the unique environment of the dehesa (Mediterranean oak woodland), where topography has less influence than in other types of forest ecosystems, vegetation can become the primary cause of wireless signal loss.
Results
Development of a methodology to characterize the morphology of the tree vegetation in the dehesa (Mediterranean oak woodland), using freely available low-density airborne LiDAR data from the National Geographic Information Center. Development of a methodology that allows for the volumetric and georeferenced reconstruction of the tree vegetation units in the dehesa. Understanding how the presence of Quercus ilex trees affects radio frequency signal loss in the EU868 band, using the LoRa communication protocol.
