 # ACOUSTIQUE-PNR_BARONNIES-2020
 Master 2 study : effect of artificial light and land use on biodiversity
+
+With two different sampling protocols, we want to study **the effects of artificial light and land use on biodiversity at night** in the *Parc Naturel Régional des Baronnies provençales* (France, 26 - 05).
+
+A potential description of changes in acoustic activity during a day or a week cannot be excluded.
+
+## Two protocols ##
+
+ - **PROTOCOLE_1_SM4**
+
+*Effects of artificial light ("light pollution") emitted by the villages of the Park on biodiversity at night.*
+
+Recording at 48 kHz for 59 min with 1 min of rest. This cycle lasts 4 days and 4 nights in order to observe **the effects at night**, but also to describe **the effects of changing soundscape between night and day**.
+
+ - **PROTOCOLE_2_AUDIOMOTH**
+
+*Effects of land use on biodiversity, linked to artificial light.*
+
+Random draw of 5 points in all types of land use in the municipality of Val-Buëch Méouge taking into account public or municipal properties.
+
+Each point was sampled at 256 kHz for 300 sec (5 min) every 600 sec (10 min) for 6 nights.
