(WEBINAR) REWI – Biodiversity/Insect/Pollinator Research at PV Solar Facilities from a US and UK Perspective (REWI Solar Webinar Series)
Biodiversity/Insect/Pollinator Research at PV Solar Facilities from a US and UK Perspective
Thursday, June 27, 2024
Starts at 1:00PM CDT
Biodiversity responses to solar farm development and operation lacks substantial empirical data across taxonomic groups and geographical regions. However, our understanding of insect biodiversity responses to PV solar farms is growing, and two new studies from the United Kingdom and United States highlight positive biodiversity responses of insects at PV solar farms.
