this project was born out of the emerging field of soil ecoacoustics
it proposes that frequency diversity corresponds to soil biodiversity
however
the perceived sound diversity in this website
is not a scientific comparison
it would require a quantitative analysis
with many replicates
taken from randomly allocated coordinates
these are thought to be
the movements and voices
of the life underneath
a symphony by ecosystem engineers
silence suggests a lack of life
whether it is due to the season,
clogged structure or a toxic environment
there is no way to see the soil
the almost purely solid ecosystem
so we might try to connect through hearing
