This paper proposes an adaptive duty-cycled hybrid X-MAC (ADX-MAC) protocol for\nenergy-efficient forest fire prediction. The Asynchronous sensor network protocol, X-MAC protocol,\nacquires additional environmental status details from each forest fire monitoring sensor for a given\nperiod, and then changes the duty-cycle sleep interval to efficiently calculate forest fire occurrence\nrisk according to the environment. Performance was verified experimentally, and the proposed\nADX-MAC protocol improved throughput by 19% and was 24% more energy efficient compared\nto the X-MAC protocol. The duty-cycle was shortened as forest fire probability increased, ensuring\nforest fires were detected at faster cycle rate
