Audio-recordings of birds from plots invaded by non-native plants (Rhododendron ponticum and Prunus laurocerasus) and non-invaded plots in four woodlands, Wales, 2023
This dataset contains audio recordings of birds in four woodland plots invaded by the non-native species Rhododendron ponticum or Prunus laurocerasus and non-invaded control plots in the same woodlands. The four locations were in Wales; Nercwys Forest; Penllergare, Swansea; Aberkenfig; and Wye Valley, Cleddon Shoots.
Recordings were conducted in hourly intervals in the morning and evening for one or two days in each location, between June and September 2023. The aim of the data collection was to analyse if any differences in the number of bird species and frequency of bird calls could be found between invaded and non-invaded woodland plots. This is the complete dataset. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/X013332/1).

Provenance & quality
Pairs of audio recorders (AudioMoth v1.2.0, Open Acoustic Devices) were placed by volunteer citizen scientists in four woodland locations in Wales between June and September 2023. One was placed at the invaded plot and one at the control plot. The locations and sites were chosen by the volunteers who were recruited through events run in collaboration with the North Wales Wildlife Trust for engaged members of the public interested in citizen science and invasive species. Volunteer site choice was discussed with the research team before the recordings took place. Volunteers sent the data back to the research team or uploaded all files to an online data storage. Data were checked by the research team to verify recording had taken place. The data were not changed before uploading to the EIDC repository.
