Golden Eagles in Karatau and the Chu-Ili Mountains (Kazakhstan) and Assessment of Risks to Its Populations from Developing Wind Energy
Author: Karyakin, Igor; et al.
Abstract The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is the largest eagle in Kazakhstan, breeding in almost all mountainous and forested areas of the country. In Karatau and the Chu-Ili Mountains, there are two large breeding groups of this species, which have been threatened by the development of a network of windpower plants (WPPs) since 2021, because both of these breeding groups are concentrated in powerful wind corridors that are promising for wind energy generation. We modelled the distribution of the Golden . . .

Author: Chang, Hao-Yi; Lin, Tzu-Hao; Anraku, Kazuhiko; and Shao, Yi Ta
Abstract Short-term exposure to strong underwater noise is known to seriously impact fish. However, the chronic physiological effects of continuous exposure to weak noise, i.e. the operation noise from offshore wind farms (OWF), remain unclear. Since more and more OWF will be built in the near future, their operation noise is an emerging ecological issue. To investigate the long-term physiological effects of such underwater noise on fish, black porgies (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) were exposed to two types of simulated wind farm . . .

Author: He, Jincheng; et al.
Highlights Initial construction of wind farm (WF) has great influence on biological resources. With the completion of WF construction, biological resources gradually recovered. Microplastics (MPs) were widespread in swimming organisms in WF construction area. The MPs hazard index was evaluated in the organisms before and after WF construction. Abstract Wind farms (WFs) have grown significantly in recent years, especially in the offshore. However, their construction can adversely affect marine life and expose species to microplastics (MPs) pollution, posing a threat . . .

Author: Cheng, Xiaochen; et al.
Highlights Characteristic assessment of noise at the Bodhi Island offshore wind farm Underwater noise suppresses protein synthesis and cellular apoptosis in sea cucumber intestines Underwater noise causes oxidative damage to the body cavity of sea cucumber Lysosomes and pancreatic secretion support sea cucumbers’ nutrient and energy needs in adverse conditions Sea cucumbers’ immune system responds more to low-frequency noise than high-frequency Abstract As an important form of renewable energy, offshore wind power can effectively reduce dependence on traditional energy sources . . .
