Soundscape Ecology represents a new branch of ecology it is result of the integration of different disciplines like Landscape ecology,Âoacoustics, Acoustic ecology, Biosemiotics, etc. The soundscape that is the object of this discipline, is defined as acoustic context resulting from natural andÂanÂginated soundsÂd it is considered a relevantÂironmental proxy for animal and human life. WithÂndscape EcologyÂmo FarinaÂns to offer a newÂtural toolÂinvestigateÂartially explored component of the environmental complexity.Âr thisÂintends to set the principlesÂthis new discipline, to delineate the epistemic domain which to develop newÂas theories and to describe the necessary integrationÂh all the other ecological/environmentalÂciplines. The book is organized in ten chapters. The first two chapters delineateÂnciples and theory of soundscape ecology. Chapters three and fourÂcribe the bioacoustic and communication theories. Chapter five is devotedÂthe human dimension of soundscape.Âèapters six to eightÂard the major sonic patterns likeÂse, choruses and vibrations. ChapterÂeÂdevoted to the methods in soundscape ecology and finally chapter ten describes the application of the soundscape analysis.
