Semi-distributed Transportation and Management for Field Ecological Data

In this paper, we proposed a semi-distributed transportation and management network for field ecological data collection. We developed the semi distributed transportation network to transmit the real-time video data and real-time flux data in the ChinaFlux [1] project, and utilized the SRB technique to manage the distributed ecological data among different observation sites in the ChinaFlux project. We also used the circular buffer to improve the scalability of the data transportation and management. The results showed that the semi distributed network enhanced the efficiency and performance of field ecological data transportation and management greatly.
