Managed relocation (MR) has rapidly emerged as a potential intervention strategy in the toolbox of biodiversity management under climate change. Previous authors have suggested that MR (also referred to as assisted colonization, assisted migration, or assisted translocation) could be a last-alternative option after interrogating a linear decision tree. We argue that numerous interacting and val...

Different risks are associated with the operation and maintenance of wind farms in cold climate regions, mainly due to harsh weather conditions that experience region such as (i) increased stoppage rate turbines conditions, (ii) limited accessibility snow cover on roads, (iii) stress workers at farms. In addition, there caused by during their operation, which impact surrounding environment comm...
