Soundscape Ecology is the study of how sounds in the environment affect and reflect the interactions between organisms and their surroundings. It examines both natural sounds, like bird calls and flowing water, and human-made noises, such as traffic and construction. Researchers analyze these sounds to understand biodiversity, habitat health, and the impact of noise pollution on wildlife. By recording and analyzing soundscapes, scientists can monitor changes in ecosystems over time. This field helps in conservation efforts by providing insights into how different species communicate and respond to their environment, ultimately aiding in the preservation of biodiversity and habitats.
