Scaling Challenges in Ecology Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS) Habitat Sensing Applications Group Michael Hamilton University of California James San Jacinto Mountains Reserve

Distributed Environmental Sensing "Nothing tends so much to the advancement of knowledge as the application of a new instrument.” –Sir Humphry Davy, early exponent of the scientific method, scientist, inventor. Developments in sensor array technologies are providing significant new tools for understanding fundamental ecosystem processes

Implementing CENS technology in ecological and ecosystem research Long-term ecological research: monitoring ecosystem processes Global change studies: carbon cycles and biogeochemical fluxes; forest structure; coastal food web structure Ecophysiological research: modeling physiological processes and their control by microclimate Organismal ecology: phenology; acoustical and video monitoring of animal behavior and activities; marine phytoplankton dynamics Environmental education

Cyber-informatics and ecology: scaling issues are fundamental

Detecting global change at multiple spatial and temporal scales Large networked arrays of environmental sensors can provide early warnings of subtle environmental changes

Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns in the dynamics of terrestrial carbon cycles Low spatial and temporal density of eddy covariance measurements limit our understanding of canopy-level CO 2 fluxes CENS technologies will contribute to many national and international programs investigating environmental gas fluxes

Understanding how microclimate controls ecophysiological processes Microclimate parameters are fundamental elements of ecophysiological models Microclimate

Understanding dynamic forest light environments Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of sun flecks in forest understories control fundamental regeneration and soil processes The dynamic pattern and significance of spatial heterogeneity in understory light remains practically unexplored

Understanding soil processes and related components of biotic activity Nutrient pulse Soil sensor arrays linked to above-ground sensor networks – Soil sensors that withstand physically and chemically harsh conditions – Sensors capable of recognizing phases in air/water/soil mixtures. – Microsensors that can monitor nutrient pulses – Microsensors to monitor soil CO 2 fluxes Sensor networks to monitor CO 2 flux
