Amazon Forest Soundscapes Affected by Fire and Logging

Passive sound recorders were installed at the center of each degraded forest site to record one minute of sound every five minutes over 2-8 days during September-October 2016, totaling over 1100 hours of data. Sound detections were aggregated into three-dimensional soundscapes (site-level daily summaries of acoustic space used by the animal community) by binning signal detections into ‘acoustic niches’ defined by frequency (bin size: 83.13 Hz) and time.
