It highlights the system's critical role in enhancing comprehensive forest fire prevention and control capabilities, accelerating emergency response times, and safeguarding the heritage resources of Mount Tai. Furthermore, the system is evolving into a "Smart Forest and Grassland Resources Supervision Platform" that integrates forest fire early warning, ecological environment monitoring, and pest and disease management to promote the sustainable development of forest resources.展开更多
