An entire day timelapse with the sounds recorded in our experimental plots

The image is showing some data that we are currently measuring at the field and the sounds are the ones that we can actually hear during the whole day, in the soil, in the canopy, at ground level and inside the trees. A marvelous piece of work made by Marcus Maeder named "Espírito da Floresta/Forest Spirit", an artistic-acoustic observatory.
