Acoustic diversity in vineyards is shaped by cover‐crop vegetation structure and row position

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
We investigated how inter‐row cover crops influence acoustic diversity in vineyards using plant surveys and passive acoustic monitoring. Acoustic diversity was highest at intermediate cover crop heights (~20 cm), highlighting moderate vegetation as a potential management strategy to support birds in vineyards.
