Biodiversity related impacts at wind energy facilities have increasingly become a cause for serious conservation concern, the central issue being the slaughter of a large number of birds. We aim to identify the major factors that conver high fatality risks to birds at wind farms. For this purpose, we combine species distribution modeling with assessments of bird mortality data estimated by carcass searches around wind turbines and their linkage to the ecological conditions at the respective wind turbines located in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany.
