LIFEPLAN Czechia - Global audio and image collection on biodiversity

This dataset contains raw image and audio data collected by team Czechia in the LIFEPLAN project. Researchers collected data at 2 sites in Czechia. Sampling alternated yearly between a Natural type site and an Urban type site. 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 1676.6 GB and 922584 files of image data, as well as 8958.37 GB and 1147114 files of audio data, which is equivalent to about 1303502 minutes of recording.

本数据集包含由捷克团队在LIFEPLAN项目中采集的原始图像与音频数据。研究人员在捷克境内的2处采样点开展数据采集工作，采样每年在自然类型站点与城市类型站点间交替开展。我们最初在每个站点部署了5台AudioMoth（声学记录仪）与红外触发相机，后续调整为每站点部署3台。数据采集工作始于2021年，于2025年结束，尽可能实现全年不间断采集。

本数据集共包含1676.6 GB的图像数据，合计922584个文件；以及8958.37 GB的音频数据，合计1147114个文件，总录音时长约合1303502分钟。
