How climate change is altering nature’s sonic landscape.

Something that seems as insignificant as this, the sounds of our natural landscapes, drives home the general observation that we are changing our surroundings so dramatically that, in a few years or decades, it will be difficult to explain to the next generation what we experienced today or yesterday. These changes are a consequence of not just climate change, but also possibly in how we interact with each other as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. The “anthropogenic” era is no longer creeping upon us; it has already run us over and we don’t get it.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

In the coming years, severe droughts are likely to become more common; as the water dries up, bird song could disappear along with it. It is just one example of how climate change may be altering the planet’s soundscapes, or “breaking Earth’s beat,” as [Bernie Krause, a soundscape ecologist] and his colleagues put it in a paper last year. Dr. Krause, who has amassed more than 5,000 hours of natural recordings for his company, Wild Sanctuary, wrote the paper with Jérôme Sueur, an ecoacoustician at the French National Museum of Natural History in Paris, and Almo Farina, an ecologist at the University of Urbino in Italy.

Climate change will silence some species and nudge others into new habits and habitats, changing when and where they sing, squeak, whistle, bellow or bleat. (In New York, several species of frogs now begin croaking nearly two weeks earlier in the spring than they did a century ago.) It will also alter the sounds that animals produce, as well as how such vocalizations travel.

These shifts could make it more difficult for wild creatures to attract mates, avoid predators and stay oriented, as well as force them to expend more energy to make themselves heard. They are also an audible symptom of ecosystems that are unwell Dr. Krause said: “When a habitat is under stress, or it’s been transformed by human endeavor in some manner and it’s not healthy, it shows in its voice.”

Here are five ways that the changing climate may modify animals’ acoustic behavior and remix the planet’s natural soundtracks.

Audio: lots of explosions sounding a lot like the Syrian War bombs, which then taper off, followed by silence for a few seconds and then a bird chirping like nothing ever happened.
