Ecosystems contain black boxes in models and experiments especially with respect to soil processes and soil-aboveground linkages because of difficulties in observing and measuring dynamics driving ecosystem processes. This book will review different sensors and observation units and blend measurements into a review of dynamic ecosystem processes. The contributors will address management of "Big Data" processing and storage of large scale eco-informatics. Ecologists working in wildland, rangeland, forests and agricultural ecosystems will need this book. The book will serve as a text for training the next generation of ecologists in data collection, management, and scaling processes.
Key selling features:
* Summarizes information on a variety of sensors and observation units for measuring dynamic ecosystems
* Describes the relationships between individual measurements and ecosystem processes
* Recommends best practices with respect to installation and implementation of technologies
* Includes review of the bioinformatic challenges facing the the acquisition of large amounts of date
