Soundscapes to Landscapes Acoustic Recordings, Sonoma County, CA, 2017-2022

Description

This dataset holds in situ sound recordings from sites in Sonoma County, California, USA as part of the Soundscapes to Landscapes citizen science project. Recordings were collected from 2017 to 2022 during the bird breeding season (mid-March thru mid-July). Sites (n=1399) were selected across the county; locations were stratified with respect to topographic position and broad land use/land cover types, such as forest, shrubland, herbaceous, urban, agriculture, and riparian areas. Two types of automated recorders were used: Android-based smartphones with attached microphones and AudioMoths. Recorders were deployed at sites for at least 3 days, and programmed to record 1 min of every 10, thus providing temporal sampling through day and night. Each recording was saved in a waveform audio file format (.wav) with 16-bit digitization depth and 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rate for smartphone and AudioMoth recorders, respectively. The dataset also includes site information including site location when so permitted by landowners in tabular form and photographs of field sites.
