Microclimate change caused by human disturbance will have a profound impact on grassland ecosystem function. Therefore, understanding the impact of PV panels on grassland ecosystem is of great significance for maintaining grassland ecosystem function. In this study, the PV power plant is located in Datong District, Daqing City.
To summarize, there is still uncertainty about whether PV arrays promote vegetation and soil restoration in degraded grasslands. Moreover, previous studies have investigated the influence of PV arrays on grassland ecosystems by focusing on two distinct areas: the Under and Gap zones.
Zhang B, Zhang R, Li Y, Wang S, Zhang M, Xing F (2024a) Deploying photovoltaic arrays in degraded grasslands is a promising win-win strategy for promoting grassland restoration and resolving land use conflicts.
However, experimental studies are needed to confirm this promising prospect. The deployment of PV arrays results in significant changes to land use in grasslands, which may affect plant and soil processes as well as ecosystem service provision (Armstrong et al., 2014; Blaydes et al., 2021; Oudes and Stremke, 2021; Weselek et al., 2019).
This transformation is particularly pronounced in arid and semi-arid grassland ecosystems, where the potential ecological impacts of PV construction remain both critical and controversial.
Overall, the PV array zone superimposed the dual effects of PV panels and their fences, with the ecological indicators showing a greater positive influence than common grassland fencing. Our results
To explore the effect of PV panels on multiple ecosystem functions in terrestrial ecosystems, we used the keywords (photovoltaic∗ OR agrivoltaic∗) AND (grassland OR crop OR desert) from Web of
This study provides important information for further understanding the impact of PV panels on grassland ecosystem function and is of great significance for maintaining This study (location: Northern Italy) aimed
Therefore, understanding the impact of PV panels on grassland ecosystem is of great significance for maintaining grassland ecosystem function. In this study, the PV power plant is located in Datong District,
As a researcher focused on renewable energy and ecological restoration, I have extensively studied the effects of photovoltaic panel arrays on degraded grassland ecosystems. The rapid expansion of
Discussion: In conclusion, the arrangement of PV panels increased the plant species diversity and soil microorganisms in grassland. This study provides important information for further understanding the
Photovoltaic power generation is playing an increasingly prominent role in the global energy transition, and the rapid expansion of photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) has raised growing concerns
Although the abiotic controls of grassland ecosystems have been stud-ied in many contexts (e.g., drought, grazing, nitrogen depo-sition; Knapp et al. 2020; Irisarri et al. 2015; Wei et al. 2013), the
