Abstract

Forest ecosystems have always received worldwideattention due to their biological diversity and these forests arevital for human existence. However, the area is decreasing dueto human negligence and over-exploitation by the humanpopulation. Recent reports show evidences of illegal logging andharvesting activities through the collection of environmentaldata. This research characterizes the dynamics, cycle oftemperature, humidity, and phase particles of a prototype devicefor data collection. The hardware components for this prototypewill consist of temperature and humidity sensors, solar LipoRider for self-powering device and phase particle sensors.Sensor data has been identified as salient data for thepreservation and protection of the biological ecosystem, in termsof population wellbeing and prolonged heritage. Therefore, thedevelopment of this Automated System Detecting Environment(ASDE) will be useful in assisting regulatory bodies, researchersand ecologists to identify changes within the ecosystem.
