Abstract :
In the field ecological data collection process, lots of heterogeneous data are generated by equipments which are composed of hundreds to thousands of sensors and cameras and it is a big challenge to collect and manage these data. In this paper, we proposed a five layer framework named FEDC which can be used in the field ecological data collection and management. FEDC is a hybrid-distributed framework with some distributed properties, and it also has scalable, real-time and self-adaptive abilities. It successfully used in the ChinaFlux project and the result shows that the FEDC framework has a good performance in managing and transmitting the field ecological data.
