Book Synopsis Bird and Bat Behavior and Mortality at a Northern Iowa Windfarm by : Aaftab Ashok Jain

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examined bird and bat collision mortality and activity at an 89-tower wind resource area (WRA) in north-central Iowa, from April 15, 2003 to December 15, 2003 and March 15, 2004 to December 15, 2004. We also examined Canada goose (Branta canadensis) foraging and vigilance in the fall of both years. We found 2 birds and 30 bats in 2003 and 5 birds and 45 bats in 2004, in search transects and gravel access areas under towers. We applied search correction factors and estimated total bird mortality at 39.47 [plus or minus] 4.60 (95% CI) in 2003 and 85.38 [plus or minus] 7.78 (95% CI) in 2004. We estimated total bat mortality at 587.78 [plus or minus] 28.95 (95% CI) in 2003 and 785.87 [plus or minus] 40.00 (95% CI) in 2004. We found a considerable proportion of non-migratory little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). Bird abundance did not differ significantly between tower and non-tower sites. Bird flight close to the tower at rotor height was rare. Across species birds tended to avoid the 0-30m zone closest to towers. These behaviors possibly reduce the risk of collision mortality. We found no significant difference between ultrasonic bat calls detected at tower ([− over x] - 34.88 calls/detector-night) and ([− over x] = 36.57 calls/detector-night) non-tower sites. Most calls were of little brown bats. The fall migratory period had the highest bat activity and collision mortality. The WRA has wetland management areas in close proximity and overlaps an area closed to Canada goose hunting. We created a model to estimate the effect of the presence of a wind tower in a field on the use of that field by goose flocks. In 2003 and 2004, our models found no evidence that the towers affected goose field choices. We also estimated whether vigilance behavior differed between flocks foraging in WRA fields and non-WRA fields within the area closed to Canada Goose hunting, and found no significant difference (F = 0.01, df = 1, 59, P = 0.92). The WRA had minimal impact on birds in the region, but more research is needed on the behavior of bats while engaged in collision-prone flight at rotor heights.

Book Synopsis Bats and Wind Energy by : Sean Willis
Download or read book Bats and Wind Energy written by Sean Willis and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since early on in the development of wind-energy production, concerns have arisen about the potential impacts of turbines to wildlife; these concerns have especially focused on the mortality of birds. Structural changes and improved turbine design have been instrumental in reducing mortality in birds. Despite the improvements to turbines that have resulted in reduced mortality of birds, there is clear evidence that bat mortality at wind turbines is of far greater conservation concern. Larger and taller turbines actually seem to be causing increased fatalities of bats. Numerous research opportunities exist that pertain to issues such as identifying the best and worst placement of sites for turbines; and mitigation strategies that would minimise impacts to wildlife (birds and bats). This book focuses on refereed journal publications and theses about bats and wind-energy development in North America.

Book Synopsis Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects by : National Research Council
Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of electricity by wind energy has the potential to reduce environmental impacts caused by the use of fossil fuels. Although the use of wind energy to generate electricity is increasing rapidly in the United States, government guidance to help communities and developers evaluate and plan proposed wind-energy projects is lacking. Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects offers an analysis of the environmental benefits and drawbacks of wind energy, along with an evaluation guide to aid decision-making about projects. It includes a case study of the mid-Atlantic highlands, a mountainous area that spans parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. This book will inform policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels.

Book Synopsis Bird Mortality at the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area by : K. Shawn Smallwood
Download or read book Bird Mortality at the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area written by K. Shawn Smallwood and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, research has shown that wind turbines in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA) kill many birds, including raptors, which are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and/or state and federal Endangered Species Acts. Early research in the APWRA on avian mortality mainly attempted to identify the extent of theproblem. In 1998, however, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) initiated research to address the causal relationships between wind turbines and bird mortality. NREL funded a project by BioResource Consultants to perform this research directed at identifying and addressing the causes of mortality of various bird species from wind turbines in the APWRA.With 580 megawatts (MW) ofinstalled wind turbine generating capacity in the APWRA, wind turbines there provide up to 1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of emissions-free electricity annually. By identifying and implementing new methods and technologies to reduce or resolve bird mortality in the APWRA, power producers may be able to increase wind turbine electricity production at the site and apply similar mortality-reductionmethods at other sites around the state and country.

Book Synopsis Ecological Regions of North America by :
Download or read book Ecological Regions of North America written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.
