Exploring the impact of university green spaces on Students' perceived restoration and emotional states through audio-visual perception

Ecological Informatics
A growing body of evidence suggests that university green space (UGS) can substantially enhance students' perceived restoration. This study employed virtual reality technology to assess the characteristics of audio-visual elements in three types of UGS ...

Ecoacoustics for context‐rich direct and indirect trophic interaction data and ecological network construction

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

Soundscape perception indices (SPIs): Developing context-dependent single value scores of multidimensional soundscape perceptual quality

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The soundscape approach provides a basis for considering the holistic perception of sound environments in context. Whereas steady advancements have been made in methods for assessment and analysis, a gap exists for comparing soundscapes and quantifying improvements in the multidimensional perception of a soundscape. To this end, there is a need for the
