We find that the establishment of one additional wind turbine, on average, leads to disappearance of about three breeding birds. The aggregate effect of the U.S. on-shore wind turbines on breeding bird count is 151,630, a magnitude at the lower end of existing estimates that range between ...
The researchers also found that the size of the wind turbine and the length of the blades make a difference: taller turbines and shorter blades reduce the impact on birds. Other studies have found that turbine height was negatively correlated with bird count, but the present study separated heig...

Birders get nervous when they see landscapes covered in wind turbines (涡轮机).When the wind gets going,their blades (叶片) can turn around at well over 200km per hour.It is easy to imagine careless birds getting cut into pieces and wind turbines do indeed kill at least some birds.But ...
1. Introduction: The problem of marine birds and wind turbine collision risk Throughout their evolution marine birds (birds which exploit the resources of the sea) have not had to contend with the collision risk posed by discrete objects that extend into their flight space above the water surfac...

"The old (turbine) technology is terrible," Smallwood said. "It kills a lot of birds and bats. It's like a person running across a very busy street. You make it some of the time, but once in a while, you don't." Nationwide, investors put $25 billion into wind energy in 2012,...
According to the article, the wind turbine itself is not unusual but it serves as a flagship visitor centre of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). This shows that bird protection and wind power do not belong on... R East - 《Green Futures》 被引量: 0发表: 2009年 ...

turbine blades in some regions across the globe, while the impact on terrestrial mammals is relatively less explored. In this context, we assessed the responses of birds and mammals to the wind turbines in central Karnataka, India from January 2016 to May 2018 using carcass searches to quantify...
