Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Acoustic Forest Monitoring Forest monitoring is an important approach to maintaining and enhancing the state of forests. For this purpose, various methods are employed to evaluate the ecological, economic, and social functions of forests and to monitor changes in ecosystems. To ensure effective monitoring, it is essential to comprehensively record all relevant aspects of biodiversity in the forest. One promising method for surveying species that produce sounds is the use of (bio)acoustic methods.
