The second edition of Predicting Outdoor Sound is an up-to-date reference on the
propagation of sound close to the ground and its prediction. New content includes …

Abstract Purpose of Review Quantifying the effects of anthropogenic sounds on wildlife at
the landscape scale of observation has been notoriously difficult because these sounds are …

The effect of greenery on traffic noise mitigation has been extensively studied on the level of
single plants, green walls, berms and hedges, but not considering whole sample areas …

In this chapter, we review the level of disturbance caused by railways due to noise and
vibration, air, soil and water pollution, and soil erosion. There is evidence that soil and …

Anthropogenic noise is increasing worldwide because of growing human populations,
transportation, and resource extraction. This excessive noise negatively impacts humans …

Male crickets attract females by producing calls with their forewings. Louder calls travel
further and are more effective at attracting mates. However, crickets are much smaller than …

Growing demand on transportation, road and railway networks has increased the risk of
annoyance from these sources and the need to optimise noise mitigation. The potential …

Snowmobiling in Congressionally designated Wilderness (CW) in Alaska is a contentious
issue in the arena of appropriate use of public lands. The 1980 Alaska National Interests …

Recent, rapid arthropod declines have been tied to human activity. Yet, the propensity for
human‐produced noise to disturb the substrate‐borne (vibratory) channel remains virtually …

The potential use of forests or narrow belts of trees alongside surface transport corridors to
reduce noise is often dismissed. This may be a consequence of conflicting experimental …
