The ongoing war in Ukraine has significantly disrupted agricultural land use, leading to reduced cropland areas, increased land abandonment, and heightened uncertainty in food production. This study presents a multi-year assessment of war-induced agricultural land use changes in Ukraine using machine learning-based classification applied to Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. By leveraging cloud computing platforms, […]
...Common Buzzard Buteo buteo is a raptor widely distributed in the Palaearctic Realm. Populations of a subspecies Buteo buteo vulpinus called Steppe Buzzard are strictly migratory and wintering in sub-Saharan Africa. However,
detailed information about its individual movement pattern is missing. We equipped a nestling of Steppe Buzzard with
a telemetry logger in eastern Ukraine in the 2021 breeding season. The bird was GPS-tracked till the end of 2022. We
characterised its post-fledging period and area, periods and movement patterns of pre-migration vagrancy, two
autumn and one spring migrations and winter and summer stays.
