LIFEPLAN Sweden - Global audio and image collection on biodiversity, Sweden nested design

This dataset contains raw image and audio data collected by team Sweden in the LIFEPLAN project. Researchers collected data at 15 sites in Sweden. Sites were arranged in a nested design. We deployed first 5 and later 3 AudioMoth recorders and camera traps per site. Data collection started in 2021 and ended in 2025. Data were collected year-round as far as possible. This dataset contains 1584.57 GB and 693973 files of image data, as well as 119281.62 GB and 17969713 files of audio data, which is equivalent to about 18777882 minutes of recording.
