摘要

在向无化石社会过渡的过程中,风能已成为经济上最可行的可再生能源之一。在芬兰,由多个风力涡轮机组成的风力发电场通常位于森林地区,这引发了人们对其潜在视听影响的担忧。尽管如此,有关森林如何减轻风力发电场负面影响的研究却十分有限。森林可以有效地起到噪音屏障的作用,其噪音衰减能力因森林的特性而异。具体来说,衰减水平取决于声音在森林中的传播距离以及树木的大小和密度。我们的研究结果表明,森林可以提供高达 10 分贝的额外噪音衰减。这是通过将基于森林结构的模型纳入森林规划计算实现的,目的是减轻风力涡轮机的噪声污染。将这一噪音模型作为管理目标,大大降低了试点研究区域的噪音水平,优于传统的 "一切照旧 "管理策略。此外,结合采用不均匀树龄和均匀树龄的森林管理方法,可以形成更多的森林景观,从而更有效地缓解更高的噪音水平。我们的研究结果提供了重要的见解,与进一步的研究一起,可以指导未来的森林规划和管理,以提高可持续性。

How can optimized forest management plan regulate noise levels from wind turbines?

Wind energy has emerged as one of the most economically viable renewable energy options in the transition towards a fossil-free society. In Finland, wind farms, consisting of several wind turbines, are commonly located in forested areas, prompting concerns about their potential audio-visual impacts. Despite this, research into how forests might mitigate the adverse effects of wind farms are limited. Forests can effectively serve as noise barrier, with their noise attenuation capacity varying based on the forest’s characteristics. Specifically, the attenuation level depends on the sound’s travel distance through the forest, as well as the size and density of trees. Our study findings indicate that forests can provide up to 10 dB of additional noise attenuation. This was achieved by integrating a forest structure-based model into forest planning calculations, aimed at mitigating noise pollution from wind turbines. Incorporating this noise model as a management objective significantly reduced noise levels in the pilot study area, outperforming traditional business-as-usual management strategies. Furthermore, adapting a combination of uneven-aged and even-aged forest management approaches resulted in more forested landscape, which was more effective in mitigating higher noise levels. Our results contribute important insights that, along with further research, can guide future forest planning and management towards enhanced sustainability.

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Forest Research focuses on publishing innovative results of empirical or model-oriented studies which contribute to the development of broad principles underlying forest ecosystems, their functions and services. Papers which exclusively report methods, models, techniques or case studies are beyond the scope of the journal, while papers on studies at the molecular or cellular level will be considered where they address the relevance of their results to the understanding of ecosystem structure and function. Papers relating to forest operations and forest engineering will be considered if they are tailored within a forest ecosystem context.
