Birds & soundscape

The study's central causal comparison: acoustic activity at the development site and at the control shoreline two kilometres away, compared on changes, never on levels. Period markers separate before, construction and operation.

Vocal activity index · impact vs control PLACEHOLDER DATA PLACEHOLDER DATA

The control is not assumed to hold the same number of birds, and it does not need to: if activity falls at both sites, the region did it; if it falls only here, the development did.
