Arctic soil soundscapes

Sample soil soundscape recordings collected in common garden experiment at Abisko Scientific Research Station in September - October 2020. Files have not been pre-processed (i.e., are in their original format as saved onto recording devices). Before our analysis, all recordings were low pass filtered to remove signals above 5 kHz. We also applied a band pass filter at 500 Hz to remove self noise that appeared intermittently on some recorders. Our analysis focused on signals primarily betwen 50 Hz - 2 kHz, and we recommend that other researchers limit their analysis to this range in order to avoid noise artifacts from recorders that we occasionally observed at high frequencies.
