Review: What the study \u201cBiodiversity in solar parks\u201d shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How big this Potential<\/strong> is actually the case is shown by the Nationwide field study<\/strong> \"Biodiversity in the solar park<\/a>\u201c. For this purpose, professional appraisal offices 30 modern solar parks analysed in Germany<\/strong>. This was mainly done on agricultural land<\/strong>, in other words, exactly where the expansion is taking place today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Results are impressive<\/strong>Among other things, the following were detected 385 plant species<\/strong>, 30 locust species<\/strong>, 36 species of butterflies and damselflies<\/strong>, 32 breeding bird species<\/strong>, 13 bat species<\/strong> and Other bird, amphibian and dragonfly species<\/strong>. In total, the study comprises over 100 individual examinations<\/strong> and round 40 technical reports<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly exciting: not only the Construction method<\/strong> determines the diversity of species, but above all the Care<\/strong>. Flexible mowing, customised care concepts and Sufficient space between the module rows<\/strong> make the difference. Solar parks are not a standard off-the-shelf solution, but work particularly well when they are planned according to location<\/strong> become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also Bats<\/strong> <\/a>actively use solar parks as hunting grounds, Skylarks<\/a><\/strong> were partly detected in large populations and Many species groups colonise the areas surprisingly quickly<\/strong> after or even during construction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where biodiversity is given space again <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The study shows that well-planned solar parks are at least as good in terms of biodiversity as Areas of so-called high natural value<\/strong> (\u201eHigh Nature Value Farmland<\/a>\u201c) can keep up. This is remarkable, because it is precisely these areas that are considered the benchmark for particularly valuable cultural landscapes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason lies in the Combination of construction and care<\/strong>Between sunlit paths, shaded areas under the modules and extensive cultivation diverse habitats<\/strong>. Where intensive agriculture previously dominated, the Stable ecosystems over years<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar parks thus bring Structure back<\/strong> in often cleared agricultural landscapes and create habitats where they are particularly needed. urgently needed<\/strong> become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A contribution to the Biodiversity Strategy 2030 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Especially with a view to the\u00a0National Strategy on Biological Diversity 2030<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(NBS2030) clearly shows the (area) potential that lies within it. Solar parks can help to\u00a0Slowing the loss of species and insects<\/strong>,\u00a0Strengthen biodiversity in agricultural areas<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Shaping climate protection in an environmentally friendly way<\/strong> - and without additional public funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany needs solutions that are not only ambitious, but also realisable. Species-rich solar parks are just as much a solution: Pragmatic, effective and immediately scalable<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
