Dataset of Raw Post-Construction Bird Mortality Monitoring Data from Wind Energy Facilities in France: Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) Design

It is specifically structured to support a Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) statistical design to reproduce the findings of the associated peer-reviewed article: "Assessment of the ability of 2D-camera automated detection systems (ADS) implemented on onshore wind energy facilities to reduce avian mortality".

The repository includes three core raw data components necessary to apply standard mortality bias corrections: - Bird Mortality: Raw counts of detected bird carcasses around wind turbines, including species taxonomy, dates, and technical turbine specifications. - Carcass Persistence Trials: Experimental field data tracking the removal and scavenging rates of known carcasses over time. - Searcher Efficiency Trials: Experimental data assessing observer detection rates using randomly placed lures of various size classes.
