  • Community structure varies not only in space but also in time. We stand in one position which located at Sinhung-ri, Sacheon-ci and observe the flora of area as time passes. This area begins after disturbance on sites where organisms are already present like secondary succession. In 2001, there are invaded by Trapa japonica, Salvinia natans, and Potamogon cristatus. Four or five years later, this abandoned areas support of clover, pine, and oak, resulting in a shifting pattern of species dominance and diversity through time. Patterns of community structure such as species composition and ecological diversity have shown through seasons and five years, that is the topic of this study. The values of turnover (TO) were changes through time intervals at three regions. The gradual and seemingly directional change in the structure of the community through time from aquatic like to field. Thus, we can observe the process of secondary succession at Sinhung-ri in the very short time.

  • In this paper, we propose energy-aware routing schemes which are simple enough to be applicable to the wireless sensor networks. The one hop upstream no de in direction of the base-station is determined in four different ways based on the energy information of neighboring nodes, which are obtainable via the process of self-organization of the network. The fair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base-station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. The mechanism turns out to be a supplementary scheme to improve the energy efficiency. Lots of simulations are performed to examine the performance metrics such as the energy efficiency, throughput, network lifetime, and the transmission latency of the proposed schemes. Simulation results show the feasibility of the simple routing schemes for the sensor networks.

  • In many applications of wireless sensor networks, sensed data can be classified either normal or urgent data according to its time criticalness. Normal data such as periodic monitoring is loss and delay tolerant, but urgent data such as fire alarm is time critical and should be transferred to a sink with reliable. In this paper, by exploiting these data characteristics, we propose a novel energy-efficient data-aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks, which provides a high reliability for urgent data and energy efficiency for normal data. In the proposed scheme, in order to enhance network survivability and reliability for urgent data, each sensor node forwards only urgent data when its residual battery level is below than a threshold. Also, the proposed scheme uses different data delivery mechanisms depending on the data type. The normal data is delivered to the sink using a single-path-based data forwarding mechanism to improve the energy-efficiency. Meanwhile, the urgent data is transmitted to the sink using a directional flooding mechanism to guarantee high reliability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could significantly improve the network lifetime, along with high reliability for urgent data delivery.
