Abstract:

This data publication includes 82,025 sound recordings from automated audio recording units (ARUs) for a study of bioacoustics (species-specific sounds) and ecoacoustics (soundscape conditions). We sampled the ecoacoustics of lacustrine, riverine, lowland, and upland environments on training lands managed by U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Alaska in the boreal biome of central Alaska during June-August 2019 and April-September 2020. The study area included Tanana Flats and Yukon Training Areas of USAG Alaska, and adjacent locations of Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest and Alaska Peatland Experiment site just north of Tanana Flats Training Area, representing diverse environmental conditions.
