Variation in quality of Golden Eagle territories and a management strategy for wind farm projects in northern Sweden

Hipkiss, Tim; Moss, Edward; Hörnfeldt, Birger

Abstract

Capsule Breeding productivity of 86 occupied Golden Eagle territories in northern Sweden varied greatly, with the upper quartile of the most productive territories being responsible for 44% of the total productivity of the studied territories. This information is used in a regional strategy for managing wind farm project proposals in areas inhabited by Golden Eagles, whereby the more productive territories are provided with a greater degree of protection than their less productive counterparts.
