Wetland areas' direct contributions to residents' well-being entitle them to high cultural ecosystem values Open
Wetlands in urban areas will be crucial to counteract the effects of climate change, for example, by improving flood protection and regulating local climate. To gain acceptance for larger-scale creation of wetlands, total values must be id…
View article: Low-frequency outdoor–indoor noise level difference for wind turbine assessment
Low-frequency outdoor–indoor noise level difference for wind turbine assessment Open
To increase the understanding of wind turbine noise on sleep, human physiological reactions need to be studied in a controlled laboratory setting. The paper presents an outdoor–indoor noise level difference as a function of frequency, appl…
