Roads cover a significant and increasing proportion of the Australian landscape, but their ecological impact is poorly understood. Traffic noise from busy roads can disturb animals over long distances, and may interfere with acoustic communication. In addition, ground vibration caused by passing traffic may disturb sensitive terrestrial animals. This project aims to assess the impact of traffic noise and vibration on communities of birds and frogs. Results of this research will provide vital information on the effects of roads on vulnerable wildlife, and the potential benefits to conservation of noise mitigation measures such as construction of tunnels and sound barriers.

道路覆盖了澳大利亚景观中很大的一部分，而且还在不断增加，但人们对道路的生态影响知之甚少。来自繁忙道路的交通噪音会在很长的距离内干扰动物，并可能干扰声音通信。此外，过往车辆引起的地面振动可能会干扰敏感的陆地动物。该项目旨在评估交通噪音和振动对鸟类和青蛙群落的影响。这项研究的结果将提供有关道路对脆弱野生动物的影响，以及对保护噪音缓解措施(如建造隧道和隔音屏障)的潜在好处的重要信息。
