Are these the same almond farms that also kill swaths of bees from the pesticides etc they use?
Is this a damage control article or something?
No, it looks like a nature-based solution experiment. These are important and have wider consequences that benefit general ecological studies.
I should also clarify that agroecological studies like this get a lot of funding for commerce reasons but do have a lot of implications for biodiversity and rewilding work as obviously healthy, happy environments get more yield. Coral reefs also exhibit similar behaviour with sound.
