Concept of a managed ecosystem by Symbiose Intelligente
Developed by the Symbiosei team at the request of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance
The concept of a managed ecosystem, as a human habitat, was developed by the Symbiosei team at the request of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of France, and partially implemented in practice in our projects of a tourist village in the Arctic and an autonomous eco-village for the African desert.
How does it work?
The principle of the Managed Ecosystem is simple. A network of climate sensors collects data on the microclimate, for example, of your garden, and sends this data to a central server. There, the data is analyzed, the results are presented in reports that are understandable to you, and you can access them through your personal account.
Now, with the help of Symbiosei technology, you will be able to quickly and clearly get answers to many questions that arise when planning and maintaining a garden:
— Does this specific tree have enough water?
— light?
— warmth?
— were there critical overloads in these parameters in the last year?
— will there be enough light a meter away from the trunk for the primroses to bloom there?
Very often, the answers to these questions can be obtained simply by looking at the corresponding graphs. Sometimes, more complex data processing may be required to make an informed decision, but this is more of a technical issue.
Furthermore, knowing the precise answers, you can gradually, step by step, turn the garden into a balanced, sustainable, managed ecosystem.
All Symbiosei climate sensors are compatible with the Home Assistant smart home system. This means that the sensor readings can be used as feedback when designing automated irrigation systems, programming agricultural robots, and other automation systems.

The key point in the concept of the Managed Ecosystem is that only precise digital knowledge allows making balanced decisions with predictable consequences. Having a precisely calibrated climate profile for each ecological niche in your garden, you can restore a damaged ecosystem or even build a new one from scratch in just a few years.
Nature, acting by trial and error, would take several decades to achieve the same result.
What are the advantages of a balanced ecosystem?
In short, a balanced ecosystem is simultaneously cheap, beautiful, and beneficial for the surrounding environment. In a good eco-garden, each plant lives in optimal conditions for itself. This is achieved through a system of local microclimate monitoring by Symbiosei. By knowing the microclimate characteristics in different parts of the garden, you can select plants precisely for the location, without wasting time on experiments.
If most plants in the garden are strong and healthy, if the species composition of the garden is well thought out, if all living organisms are correctly distributed among ecological niches, then there are no weak spots in collective defense. This means that the garden's resistance to diseases and pests increases dramatically.
Such an eco-garden is sustainable, requires minimal maintenance costs, and significantly reduces the use of agrochemicals.
In addition, a sustainable ecosystem with healthy plants and a good level of biodiversity is always beautiful and almost always beneficial for your health.

How to turn your garden, village, metropolis into a balanced, managed ecosystem?
The simplest, in our opinion, way is to acquire a microclimate monitoring system from Symbiose Intelligente, place climate sensors in the most important areas of your territory (based on experience, one sensor per 100 square meters is more than enough even for a very complex landscape), analyze the data obtained, and systematically strive to ensure that all your plants live in optimal conditions for themselves.
This process takes quite a long time, is not always trivial, and most likely some plants will need to be replanted, and agricultural techniques will need to be changed to new ones.
Nevertheless, this is a systematic approach, and therefore the only reliable way to reduce both carbon footprint and maintenance costs.
Why are managed ecosystems from Symbiose Intelligente the best choice?
Our system is specially adapted for outdoor use: — temperature range from -50 °C to +50 °C, — protection against ultraviolet rays and atmospheric precipitation. The signal transmission range from microclimate sensors is up to 1000 meters from the base station with direct line of sight. Design. The appearance of the sensors is completely independent of the electronic components. Our monitoring system can be easily integrated into any landscaping project.
If necessary, we are ready to design and manufacture a vandal-resistant version of the system.
