EcoCertified: Assessing the impact of solar fields on biodiversity
As an answer to energy transition goals, there are more and more solar fields being built in the landscape. In contrast with other renewable energy utilities like wind farms, the impact of solar fields on biodiversity is still unknown. However, this impact should not be overlooked, as they may have a large land requirement. With the EcoCertified project, the goal is to understand the current effect of solar fields on local biodiversity, from the soil to the larger mammal taxa.
