Definition | Integrated terrestrial ecosystem observatory, depending on the climate-vegetation zones (temperate and warm-temperate zone) | Automatic ecosystem observatory considering the characteristics of local scale three ecosystem types | Take action on the urgent ecological concern (e.g., outbreak, wildfire, mass mortality) |
Observation | e.g., Meteorology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, phenology, remote sensing, land cover, population dynamics, pedology | Wetland: e.g., population dynamics, hydrology & water quality, methane emission Urban: e.g., pollutants, carbon cycle, disease-carrying animals, pedology Gotjawal: e.g., population dynamics, phenology, carbon cycle |
e.g., meteorology, carbon cycle, pollutants, soil sampling, unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing |
MDP: mobile deployment platform.
