The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service has set up a Smart Forests network of long-term experimental forests and research sites across the US. The network is using a range of sensors to provide real-time data on air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, soil temperature and moisture, stream flow, and tree phenology, for monitoring and managing urban and rural forest environments. See a map of the participating experimental forest sites here. Learn more about the Smart Forests network in our radio episode with Lindsey Rustad.
