Acoustic monitoring of owls in Alps

The study was carried out in the Alps region. The study sites were located at an altitude of 630 – 1260 m a. s. l. Managed forests were selected from areas managed by the Bundesforste organization (N 47,792390°, E 15,003097° and N 47,788820°, E 14,873991° and one in N 47,271191°, E 12,790635°). Protected areas were localized in the Wildnisgebiet Durrenstein (WGD, N 47,762007°, E 15,021724°), Nature Reserve Kesselfall (N 47,213183°, E 12,722890°) and NP Gesause (N 47,586255°, E 14,640948°).

This study compares the number of owl territories in managed and protected areas in the first goal. The second goal is aimed at the impact of the environment on owl assemblages.

The data represent a table containing the results for the lines with the number of owl territories and information about environmental parameters in the 300 m buffer around the line.
