Of all the renewable energy sources (RESs)―except direct solar heat and light―wind
energy is believed to have the least adverse environmental impacts. It is also one of the RES …

Offshore wind farms may affect bird populations through collision mortality and
displacement. Given the pressures to develop offshore wind farms, there is an urgent need …

Wind energy development contributes substantially to achieve climate protection goals.
Unintended side effects, especially on wildlife, have long been discussed and substantial …

The number of offshore wind farms is rapidly increasing as they are a critical part of many
countries' renewable energy strategies. Quantifying the likely impacts of these developments …

A large increase in offshore wind turbine capacity is anticipated within the next decade,
raising concerns about possible adverse impacts on birds as a result of collision risk. Birds' …

Capsule Local factors can lead to strong variation in mortality rate and collision risk that
obscures possible effects of turbine size in wind farms. Aims The impact of bird collisions …

Renewable energy continues to grow globally, and the number of offshore wind farms is set
to increase. Whilst wind energy developments provide energy security and reduced carbon …
