Description

This study examines the impact of environments under photovoltaic (PV) panels on biodiversity. Findings indicate that PV panels create unique microhabitat conditions, favoring shade-tolerant plants and providing better activity environments for insects and small mammals. Additionally, PV systems positively affect indicator species such as pollinators. Although site-specific variations exist, appropriate design and management strategies can foster ecological coexistence. The study recommends integrating eco-friendly principles into PV design, maintaining ecological continuity, and planting diverse vegetation to achieve a win-win outcome for renewable energy development and biodiversity conservation. 本研究探討光電板下環境對生物多樣性的影響。結果顯示,光電板下形成獨特的微棲地條件,增加了耐陰性植物的比例,同時也為昆蟲和小型哺乳動物提供了更適宜的活動環境。此外,光電板系統對一些指標性物種如傳粉昆蟲具有正面影響。儘管不同場址的影響因地而異,但適當的設計與管理策略可促進生態共存。本研究建議將生態友善理念融入光電板設計,維持生態連續性並種植多樣化植被,以實現可再生能源發展與生物多樣性保護的雙贏目標。

Sampling Methods

The study selected PV sites in various regions, including agricultural land, grasslands, and wastelands. Within each site, biodiversity in areas under PV panels was compared with uncovered control areas. Species richness, community structure, and functional diversity were analyzed for plants and animals. Environmental parameters, such as soil moisture, light intensity, and temperature, were also recorded to explore their influence on biodiversity. 本研究選取不同地區的光電場址作為研究樣本,分別包含農業用地、草原和荒地等典型環境類型。在每個場址內,設置光電板下和未被覆蓋的對照區域進行比較,採集動植物樣本並分析其物種豐富度、群落結構和功能多樣性。此外,還記錄了土壤濕度、光照強度及溫度等環境參數,以探討環境條件對生物多樣性的影響。

Study Extent Chianan Plain Under Solar Panels: Randomly select 5–10 plots within solar panel clusters (each plot approximately 10x10 meters). The sampling area should include cultivated fields and bare soil zones. Control Areas: Adjacent farmland with similar topography but without solar panels, also with 5–10 plots of the same size. 嘉南平原 光電板下區域: 每個光電板群組中隨機選擇5–10塊地(每塊地約10x10米),覆蓋範圍應包含種植作物和裸露土壤區域。 對照區域: 光電場旁未安裝光電板的相似地形農田,同樣設置5–10塊相同面積的樣區。 Zengwen Wetland Under Floating Solar Panels: Select 3–5 water areas beneath floating solar panels (each area approximately 50x50 meters), covering different water depths and vegetation coverage levels. Control Areas: Select 3–5 control plots in unaffected parts of the wetland or adjacent areas, maintaining similar water depths and environmental conditions. 曾文濕地 光電板下區域: 針對浮動光電板下的水域,選取3–5個區域(每個區域約50x50米),覆蓋不同水深和植被覆蓋程度的樣點。 對照區域: 在光電板周圍或濕地未受影響區域,同樣選取3–5個對照樣點,保持相似的水深與環境條件。
Quality Control 1.Size and Heterogeneity of the Site: The distribution of solar panels may affect microclimates and biological communities, so sampling should cover both typical and edge zones. 2.Number and Distribution of Samples: Each plot should be large enough to capture local biodiversity while ensuring statistical representativeness. 3.Ecological Change Cycles: For agricultural areas, sampling should align with crop growth stages, while wetland sampling should consider bird migration and rainy seasons. A well-designed sampling range enhances the scientific rigor and applicability of the research findings. 1.地點大小與異質性: 光電板系統的分佈可能影響微氣候與生物群落,因此需涵蓋典型與邊界樣點。 2.樣本數量與分布: 每個樣區的面積需足夠捕捉當地生物多樣性,且確保在統計上具有代表性。 3.生態變化週期: 在農田區建議分作物生長階段進行,濕地則需考慮候鳥遷徙與降雨季節。 透過合理的範圍設計,可提升數據的科學性與研究結果的應用價值。

Method step description:

  1. 1.Preliminary Survey and Preparation: Conduct an initial survey at each research site to identify the actual sampling areas and terrain. 2.Setting Up Sampling Plots: Set up sampling plots in both solar panel areas and control areas. Each plot will typically cover 10x10 meters or 50x50 meters, with GPS coordinates marked. 3.Biodiversity Data Collection: Record plant, insect, bird, fish, and other species, using techniques such as sweeping nets, traps, and visual observations to collect samples. 4.Environmental Data Measurement: Measure environmental indicators such as soil moisture, light intensity, temperature, and wind speed. 5.Repeated Sampling: Perform repeated sampling at the designated intervals (e.g., every two months) to capture seasonal changes. 1.數據整理: 將採集的生物樣本、環境數據進行整理,錄入電子表格或數據庫中。 2.物種識別: 對植物、昆蟲、鳥類等樣本進行物種鑑定,並記錄物種數量和分佈。 3.統計分析: 使用統計軟體進行數據分析,對比不同時間、不同區域內生物多樣性的變化。 4.生態指標計算: 計算物種豐富度、物種多樣性指數等生態學指標,評估光電板對生物多樣性的影響。 5.趨勢分析: 針對季節性或長期變化進行趨勢分析,確定光電板區域與對照區域的生態差異。
