What does Atlantic Forest soundscapes can tell us about landscape?

The ecoacoustics approach for environmental recordings analysis is used to understand and identify big ecological patterns related to different sound sources, like animals, humans and the environment itself. Sounds can vary according to several features that can be on its surroundings or far away, t...
