Audio Cartography: Visual Encoding of Acoustic Parameters [PDF]

, 2011
Our sonic environment is the matter of subject in multiple domains which developed individual means of its description. As a result, it lacks an established visual language through which knowledge can be connected and insights shared. We provide a visual

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

LIFE+2010 QUADMAP Project: results obtained from the analysis of data collected during the application of the new methodology to the pilot quiet areas [PDF]

, 2019
Since the 90s, quiet areas have commonly been considered as places to be acoustically preserved or where acoustic interventions should be implemented to reduce noise levels.

Effect distances of road traffic noise on wildlife behaviour: A soundscape mapping approach using bird habitat selection

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...

Soundscape for urban ecological security evaluation

Basic and Applied Ecology
The security of the Earth system has been extensively discussed through the concept of planetary boundaries, which hypothesizes the Anthropocene as the crisis for pushing environmental variables beyond safe limits. Cities, as burgeoning population centers, warrant heightened attention to issues surrounding planetary boundaries and ecological security ...

Visioning ecologically diverse and harmonious futures of Korea in Good Anthropocene

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer between North and South Korea, holds profound historical, cultural and ecological significance, as well as exceptional potential for conservation and transformation. This study explores ecologically diverse and peaceful futures for the Korean Peninsula by envisioning the DMZ as a landscape for ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

The bag-of-frames approach: a not so sufficient model for urban soundscapes [PDF]

, 2015
The "bag-of-frames" approach (BOF), which encodes audio signals as the long-term statistical distribution of short-term spectral features, is commonly regarded as an effective and sufficient way to represent environmental sound recordings (soundscapes ...

Perception of soundscapes : an interdisciplinary approach [PDF]

, 2012
This paper takes an overall view of findings from the Positive Soundscape Project, a large inter-disciplinary soundscapes study. Qualitative fieldwork (soundwalks and focus groups) have found that soundscape perception is influenced by cognitive effects ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
