摘要: A B S T R C Compensation measures are needed to counteract some of the negative impacts wind energy facilities on bat populations. To advise developers, we studied farming landscapes and compared activity at impacted sites (crops with turbines), without compensation (crops) a set potential measures: fallows, hedgerows, bushes, grass strips, strips bushes. Each site type was sampled twice in 2013, once during reproductive period migratory period. sample consisted least eight nights ultra-sound recordings. Bat species were separated into three groups: Pipistrellus sp., Eptesicus-Nyctalus sp. Plecotus-Myotis The results demonstrated that groups responded differently different responses season-dependent. These lead further questions regarding strategies mitigate farms.
