风力发电场是化石燃料的清洁替代品，可以减轻气候变化的影响。然而，它们具有复杂的生态后果，特别是对鸟类的负面影响。中国东部沿海是东亚-澳大拉西亚水鸟迁徙路线的重要组成部分，由于电力需求和风能资源的高需求，许多风力发电场已经或即将在该地区建成。然而，关于中国东部沿海大型风电场对生物多样性保护的影响知之甚少。通过了解这些地区水鸟的分布和在风力涡轮机周围的运动，可以减少风力发电场对在这里越冬的水鸟的负面影响。从2017年到2019年，我们选择崇明群岛作为我们的研究区域，这是中国东部沿海迁徙水鸟最重要的热点之一，并且具有足够的风力发电潜力，以实现能源可持续性，研究如何协调沿海风电场的发展（现有和计划中的风力发电场）和水鸟保护（重要的水鸟栖息地和因水鸟活动特点而形成的缓冲区）。根据2017-2018年的16次实地调查，我们确定了四个对水鸟具有国际重要性的沿海自然湿地。在崇明东滩，有超过63.16%的水鸟和89.86%的水鸟有规律地飞越堤坝，并利用天然潮间带湿地作为觅食地，堤坝后的人工栖息地作为觅食和栖息的补充生境。此外，通过2018-2019年崇明东滩14只水鸟（7只水鸟和7只鸭子）4603个位置的GPS/GSM跟踪，我们进一步证明，超过60%的水鸟位置距离堤坝800-1300 m，这个距离可以被定义为保护水鸟的缓冲区。最后，根据我们对水鸟保护缓冲区的发现，我们发现邻近崇明群岛四个重要沿海栖息地的67台现有风力涡轮机可能会影响水鸟。我们的结论是，风电场的定居应避免不仅在重要的沿海自然湿地水鸟保护，但也在一个适当的缓冲区，包括人工湿地，如水产养殖池塘和稻田毗邻这些重要的自然湿地。
Wind farms are a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and may mitigate the effects of climate change. However, they have complex ecological consequences, especially their negative effects on birds. The East China coast is a key part of the East Asian-Australasian flyway (EAAF) for migratory waterbirds, and numerous wind farms have been or will be built in this region owing to high electricity demand and wind energy resources. However, little is known regarding the effects of large-scale wind farms of the East China coast on biodiversity conservation. The negative effects of wind farms on waterbirds that overwinter here could be reduced by understanding waterbird distribution and movement around wind turbines in these areas. From 2017 to 2019, we selected the Chongming Islands as our study area, which are one of the most important hot spots for migratory waterbirds of the East China coast and have sufficient wind generation potential to achieve energy sustainability, to study how to coordinate coastal wind farm development (existing and planned wind farms) and waterbird conservation (important waterbird habitats and buffer zone due to characteristic of waterbird activity). We identified four coastal natural wetlands of international importance for waterbirds according to 16 field surveys in 2017–2018. We found that over 63.16% species and 89.86% of waterbirds flew regularly across a dyke in Chongming Dongtan, where the wind farms are generally located, and used the natural intertidal wetland as a feeding ground and artificial habitat behind the dyke as a supplementary habitat for foraging and roosting. Additionally, with 4603 locations of 14 GPS/GSM tracked waterbirds (seven shorebirds and seven ducks) in Chongming Dongtan in 2018–2019, we further demonstrated that more than 60% of waterbird locations were within a distance of 800–1300 m from the dyke, and this distance could be defined as a buffer zone to protect waterbirds. Finally, we found that 67 existing wind turbines adjacent to four important coastal habitats on the Chongming Islands may influence waterbirds based on our finding of the buffer zone for waterbird conservation. We concluded that the settlement of wind farms should be avoided not only in important coastal natural wetlands for waterbird conservation but also in a proper buffer zone covering the artificial wetlands, such as aquaculture ponds and paddy fields adjoining these important natural wetlands.
