In conclusion, it is possible to state that Decentlab professional sensors, operating in the severe environmental context of the Pian Cansiglio Regional Forest, are entirely suitable for such monitoring purposes. After the completion of the installations between 2021 and first part of 2022, all data will be organized in a homogeneous way also including data from the other stations involved in the monitoring project (LoRaWAN, Davis, Arpa Veneto, etc.), in order to allow easier comparisons of the single parameter or multiple parameters simultaneously (for example by implementing a database like InfluxDB or similar), as well as the extraction of monthly and annual extremes and the entire historical series.
As a further level of development in the IoT segment, a self-built electronic board (called "LoRa Weather board") was implemented by Dr. Mauro Girotto, based on LoRaWAN technology, for the acquisition of meteorological/environmental quantities. The board has been designed for battery-powered applications and, at the hardware level, is designed for mounting various sensors, depending on the application, including thermo-hygrometers, rain gauges and barometers. As a first field test, the board was installed at the beginning of January 2022 at two new measuring stations, equipped with a specific ultrasonic sensor for detecting the snowpack and a thermos-hygrometric sensor for compensation of the speed of sound. The first data have started to flow into the database and the extreme winter conditions (-24.6° C on January 8th ) will represent a good test for the hardware part in view of the subsequent stabilization of the measures for the future winters.
