Abstract

En 中文

• First ecoacoustic assessment of the Kihamba agroforestry system. • Acoustic indices covary with multiple plot- and landscape-level factors. • Multiple indices capture complementary ecological and anthropogenic signals. • Tree structural attributes shapes soundscape in the Kihamba system.
