To meet the surge in solar energy demand, deployment of PV panels on water surfaces has emerged as an attractive option. Despite the potential advantages associated with floating PV (FPV) systems, current understanding of their impact on aquatic life remains scarce. Here, we use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis methodology to provide a systematic review of FPV effects on aquatic organisms. Our search yielded 24 studies selected for qualitative analysis—most of which were performed in small-scale artificial ecosystems. We identified 39 variables across 12 artificial taxonomic groups. The most commonly reported effect was the reduction of chlorophyll-a in the water. Additionally, there is growing evidence that FPV has indirect effects on various groups of aquatic organisms. Enhancing current understanding of ecological consequences of FPV systems on aquatic biodiversity is urgent given the industry’s rapid expansion, and developing strategies for monitoring, controlling and predicting water quality impacts is necessary. This review provides a foundation for future studies and can assist in the development of strategies for balancing impacts and benefits of FPV systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":13147,"journal":{"name":"Hydrobiologia","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then used multiple models to assess the relative importance of environmental and geographic variables in shaping the spatial patterns of different components of diversity. The results showed that the variation patterns of alpha diversity indices among seasons were inconsistent. All beta diversity indices showed significant seasonal variations. The rate of zeta diversity decline was highest in winter, and the compositional turnover showed no significant variations among the other three seasons. In spring, longitude was the most important factor influencing variations in alpha and beta diversity, while sea surface temperature and distance from mainland were important drivers for fish zeta diversity.

Thus, there is an inherent variability in the diatom deposition across the sediments of a lake. With the aim of characterizing this variability and identifying how it may affect palaeoecological reconstructions, we identified diatom communities and assemblages from a series of sediment cores, surface sediment samples, and samples from different lake microenvironments (submerged macrophytes, sediments, marsh, meadow and attached algae). Comparing the sediment cores, we found differences in the timing of diatom assemblage shifts, which we attribute to differences in the diatom distribution in the sediments. Additionally, we identified gradients of diatom deposition where benthic and tychoplanktic diatoms dominate assemblages near shorelines and planktic assemblages dominate toward the lake center.

For percentages of species richness, only percentages of burrowers and thick-shelled species were significantly lower in DLs than CLs, while percentages of thin-shelled and small-sized species were higher in DLs. Therefore, there has been a shift toward assemblages with thin-shelled and small mollusks following LHC loss. We also found that key environmental variables affecting taxonomic and functional composition were connectivity, lake area, aquatic vegetable coverage, and water quality. Moreover, the functional composition of all Mollusca, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia were all better explained (explained variation ranged from 0.462 to 0.684) by environmental factors compacted with taxonomic composition (0.213–0.401).
