Statement

At each site, AudioMoth acoustic recorders were deployed for one week per deployment. The 30 woodlands in Scotland were surveyed in a first deployment between July and August 2021, and a second deployment in September 2021. All 84 sites across Scotland and England were surveyed in the third deployment in April 2021. The same settings were used for each deployment; a sample rate of 48kHz was used, and AudioMoths recorded for 9 minutes and 55 seconds, then slept for 5 seconds, allowing nearly continuous recording throughout the week-long deployment. The recordings were then analysed using R to calculate the following acoustic indices in the packages seewave and soundecology. • Acoustic complexity index (ACI) • Acoustic diversity index (ADI) • Acoustic Evenness (AEve) • Bioacoustic Index (Bio) • Frequency Peaks (FP) • Temporal Entropy (Ht) • Spectral Entropy (Hf) • Total Entropy (H) • Median of the Amplitude Envelope (M) • Normalised Difference Soundscape Index (NDSI) Additionally, Acoustic Richness (AR) was calculated, using the Ht and M indices.
