Impact of wind energy on plant biomass production in China

Author:  Gao, Li; et al.

Abstract— Global wind power expansion raises concerns about its potential impact on plant biomass production (PBP). Using a high-dimensional fixed effects model, this study reveals significant PBP reduction due to wind farm construction based on 2,404 wind farms, 108,361 wind turbines, and 7,904,352 PBP observations during 2000–2022 in China. Within a 1–10 km buffer, the normalized differential vegetation and enhanced vegetation indices decrease from 0.0097 to 0.0045 and 0.0075 to 0.0028, respectively. Similarly, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation and gross primary productivity . . .

ILL WIND: From Amazon Forest Crimes in Ecuador to Wind Turbines in the U.S. and China

Author:  Environmental Investigation Agency

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) built upon existing reporting and conducted an unprecedented multi-year ground-truthing investigation that connects the dots between the illegal logging and human rights violations reported in the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon, the insufficient due diligence by world leading wind blade manufacturers, and global energy provider giants like the recently incorporated GE Vernova. At the nexus of Amazonian ecosystems, Indigenous People’s rights, wind turbines, and major policy incentives in both China and the U.S. lies . . .

Impact of offshore wind farms on a tropical depression through the amplification effect by the downstream mountainous terrain

Author:  Deng, Shaokun; et al.

Highlights The evolution of a tropical depression is modified significantly by upstream offshore wind farms. The enhancement of convergence in the western side of the tropical depression is associated with gravity waves. Wind-farm wakes affect the low-level vertical wind shear through the downstream mountainous terrain. Abstract The influence of offshore wind farms in the northern South China Sea on a tropical depression far away (over the Beibu Gulf) is investigated through a fully coupled atmosphere-ocean model. Results show that in . . .

Wind farms dry surface soil in temporal and spatial variation

Author:  Wang, Gang; Li, Quoqing; and Liu, Zhe

Abstract – Wind energy is renewable and clean; however, the long-term operation of wind turbines can affect local climates. Soil moisture affects ecosystem balance, so determining the impact of wind farms on soil moisture is important. However, there has been little research on this, and only the impacts of wind farms on climate and vegetation have been considered. This study focuses on wind farms located in the grasslands of China. We analyzed changes in soil moisture in different wind directions and . . .
