While this warmed air will naturally transfer throughout the crop, operating wind machines with the sprinklers will enhance heat and water vapour transfer within the mixed layer to the air and plants.

To advise developers, we studied farming landscapes and compared bat activity at impacted sites (crops with wind turbines), sites without compensation measures (crops) and a set of sites with potential compensation measures: fallows, hedgerows, bushes, grass strips, and grass strips with bushes.
