Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology is becoming increasingly popular, particularly as applied to a variety of monitoring and tracking applications. Climate change impacts both the environment and human activity, and imposes a range of new challenges for research, technology development, and knowledge and information exchange. WSN enables monitoring and management of a large set of environmental data including climatic, atmospheric, plant and soil parameters that influence cropland growing environments. Real-time sensor data collection is used for accurate illustrations of current conditions while forecasting future conditions and risks. This paper describes a framework for using WSN and a dynamic web application designed to monitor changes in environmental conditions (especially microclimates) using in-field sensor data collected from vineyards. Keywords: Algorithms, wireless sensor network, environmental conditions, ecosystem.
