Capture of wild and marked Agriotes obscurus in pheromone traps according to distance, wind direction and date of trap**
A study was conducted to determine rates of recapture of marked Agriotes obscurus (AO) males released in a grassy field on four occasions in the...

Wind Erosion
Wind erosion, also known as eolian erosion, is a dynamic process by which soil particles are detached and displaced by the erosive forces of the...

Horizontal Heterogeneities of Functioning of Phyto- and Zooplankton in a Lake with Wind Currents
AbstractA hypothesis about the formation of horizontal heterogeneities of zooplankton and phytoplankton for a lake subjected to regular daily changes...

Wind Erosion Modeling
Similar to those for water erosion, wind erosion models are designed to: (1) evaluate how different soil management practices affect wind erosion and...

Landscape configuration and storm characteristics drive spatial patterns of wind disturbance in boreal forest landscapes
ContextWind is an important disturbance in circumboreal forests, and its frequency and severity may change with climate change, highlighting the need...

Research on wind pressure characteristics of traditional timber buildings: a case study of the main hall of Shisi Temple
Traditional timber buildings are sensitive to wind action. Studying the wind pressure characteristics is the premise for the preventive conservation...

Behavioural responses of Sandwich terns following the construction of offshore wind farms
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are a key part of efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, they have the potential to negatively impact...

An unexpected case of wind pollination: ambophily in an ornithophilous tropical mountaintop Orobanchaceae
Some plant species have a kind of mixed pollination system—ambophily—which rely both on biotic and abiotic (most commonly wind) as pollen vectors....

Rapid horizontal accumulation and bloom formation of the cyanobacterium Microcystis under wind stress
Wind plays a vital role in the distribution of algal biomass, but it remains unclear what wind conditions maximize the horizontal transport of Microcystis...
-
Wind as a Driver of Peat CO2 Dynamics in a Northern Bog
Excess CO 2 accumulated in soils is typically transported to the atmosphere through molecular diffusion along a concentration gradient. Because of the...
-
Diversification of forest management can mitigate wind damage risk and maintain biodiversity
Mitigating future forest risks, safeguarding timber revenues and improving biodiversity are key considerations for current boreal forest management....
-
Damming-associated landscape change benefits a wind-dispersed pioneer plant species
Landscape changes by anthropologic activities such as damming threaten local biodiversity through deforestation and subsequent geographic isolation....
-
Behavioural adjustments of predators and prey to wind speed in the boreal forest
Wind speed can have multifaceted effects on organisms including altering thermoregulation, locomotion, and sensory reception. While forest cover can...
-
The complexity of vegetation structure decreases the seed-hanging ability of the vegetation layer during secondary wind dispersal
Key messageFor the first time the interaction of vegetation structure, wind speed and seed attributes on seed suspension on the plants was quantified...

Bat mortality in wind farms of southern Europe: temporal patterns and implications in the current context of climate change
The expansion of renewable energy production, especially wind power, is one of the cornerstones of our strategy for mitigating climate change....

Wind of change: selective summer fish kill in an oxbow lake associated with windy weather
High-frequency data from dissolved oxygen (DO) loggers were obtained during and before a massive summer fish kill event in the oxbow lake Doubka in...
-
Field measurement of wind characteristics and induced tree response during strong storms
Typhoons have caused considerable damage to individual tree and forest ecosystems. To reduce wind-induced tree damage and better predict the risk of...

Inventory analysis of fire effects wrought by wind-driven megafires in relation to weather and pre-fire forest structure in the western Cascades
BackgroundSix synchronous, wind-driven, high severity megafires burned over 300,000 hectares of mesic temperate forest in the western Cascades of NW...

A low-cost wind tunnel for bird flight experiments
A blower-type wind tunnel for physiological bird flight experiments has been developed, constructed and evaluated. Since the birds to be investigated...

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae are attracted by low-frequency noise simulating that of operating offshore wind farms
The number and size of offshore wind (OW) turbines is increasing rapidly. OW turbines produce continuous, low-frequency noise that could impact...
