Audio-recordings of birds from plots invaded by non-native plants (Rhododendron ponticum and Prunus laurocerasus) and non-invaded plots in four woodlands, Wales, 2023

[This dataset is embargoed until October 1, 2025]. This dataset contains audio recordings of birds in four woodland plots invaded by the non-native species Rhododendron ponticum or Prunus laurocerasus and non-invaded control plots in the same woodlands. The four locations were in Wales; Nercwys Forest; Penllergare, Swansea; Aberkenfig; and Wye Valley, Cleddon Shoots. Recordings were conducted in hourly intervals in the morning and evening for one or two days in each location, between June and September 2023. The aim of the data collection was to analyse if any differences in the number of bird species and frequency of bird calls could be found between invaded and non-invaded woodland plots. This is the complete dataset. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/X013332/1).

本数据集将于2025年10月1日解禁。该数据集收录了四种林地的鸟类音频记录，这些林地分别受到非本地物种杜鹃花属（Rhododendron ponticum）或桃金娘属（Prunus laurocerasus）的入侵，以及在同一林地中的未被入侵的对照样地。四个地点位于威尔士，分别为Nercwys森林、Swansea的Penllergare、Aberkenfig以及Wye Valley的Cleddon Shoots。录音于2023年6月至9月期间，在每个地点的早晨和傍晚以每小时一次的频率进行，持续一至两天。数据收集的目的是分析被入侵与未被入侵的林地样地之间鸟类种类数量及鸣叫频率是否存在差异。此为完整数据集。本研究得到自然环境研究委员会（Grant NE/X013332/1）的支持。关于本数据集的详细信息可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/7f11ef69-36e6-4e42-b826-f11c158a0845。
