Abstract

Eucalyptus is the main fast-growing and high-yielding tree species in southern China and is the main source of wood production. Over the years, there have been many reports that eucalyptus is a water pump and that eucalyptus causes serious damage to understory vegetation. In this paper, a sensor network of eucalyptus plantation has been established in Yinling branch of Gaofeng Forest Farm in Guangxi, the main eucalyptus producing province. The sensor network can monitor the DBH changes, trunk runoff, soil moisture, environmental information and so on of eucalyptus in the stand in real time. The collected data are uploaded to the artificial forest Internet of Things monitoring information cloud management system established in this paper. This paper introduces the functions of the cloud management system in detail. On this basis, this paper discusses the fusion of high-frequency information collected from monitoring points to meet different data requirements. The research on data fusion in this paper is very preliminary. In the conclusion part, the future research on long-term monitoring data fusion of eucalyptus forest is prospected.
