WorldwideA global study finds nights near wind farms 0.041-0.125 °C warmer.

Turbines also cut vegetation productivity by a mean 1.75 grams of carbon per square metre.

In forests, evapotranspiration and productivity fall, while croplands and barren lands show altered moisture fluxes and cooling.

The study says warming levels off near 300 megawatts of installed capacity.

The authors urge siting by land use, and an edited final version will replace this one.
