摘要
不断增加的太阳能公园创造并改变了开放的生态系统。太阳能公园生态系统结合了人工和半自然的微栖息地,这取决于太阳能电池板的影响。我们区分了面板外的微栖息地(无阴影)、面板间的微栖息地(部分阴影)和面板下的微栖息地(不断阴影)。此外,太阳能公园需要通过放牧或割草来管理,以避免太阳能电池板的过度生长。本研究的目的是评估管理和微生境对植物群落组成的影响。地理位置:法国西南部(Landes de Gascogne)和东南部(Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur)。方法对20个太阳能公园的植被进行分析,其中一半为放牧,一半为刈割。我们采用随机街区设计,每个微栖息地有一个4平方米的地块,每个公园复制四个街区。我们确定了所有维管植物物种,并目测了它们的覆盖面积。结果微生境效应在物种丰富度、植物盖度、物种组成等方面具有显著的影响。面板下植物物种丰富度比面板外平均低34%。面板内外植物物种组成的差异至少可以用17%的物种来解释。管理的影响较小,仅对植物种类组成有显著影响,而对丰富度、盖度和均匀度没有显著影响。管理-微生境交互作用仅对植物覆盖有显著影响。结论太阳能电池板对植物群落的强烈影响提倡根据微生境调整不同的保护策略。
Effects of Panels and Management on Plant Community Composition in Southern French Solar Parks
Aims
The ongoing increase of solar parks creates and transforms open ecosystems. Solar park ecosystems combine artificial and semi-natural microhabitats depending on the influence of solar panels. We distinguished microhabitats outside panels (unshaded), inter-rows between panels (partial shading) and microhabitats under panels (constantly shaded). Furthermore, solar parks need to be managed by grazing or mowing to avoid the overgrowth of solar panels. The aim of our study was to assess the effects of management and microhabitat on plant community composition.
Location
Southwestern (Landes de Gascogne) and southeastern France (Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur).
Methods
We analyzed the vegetation of 20 solar parks, with half of the parks being grazed and the other half being mown. We used a randomized block design with one 4 m2 plot in each microhabitat replicated in four blocks per park. We identified all vascular plant species and visually estimated their cover.
Results
The microhabitat effect was significant for species richness, plant cover, and species composition. The plant species richness was on average 34% lower under than outside panels. The dissimilarity between under and outside panel plant species composition was explained by at least 17% of the species. The effect of management was smaller, being only significant for plant species composition but not for richness, cover, or evenness. The management–microhabitat interaction was significant only for plant cover.
Conclusions
The strong effect of solar panels on plant communities advocates for differential conservation strategies adjusted for microhabitat.
期刊介绍:
Applied Vegetation Science focuses on community-level topics relevant to human interaction with vegetation, including global change, nature conservation, nature management, restoration of plant communities and of natural habitats, and the planning of semi-natural and urban landscapes. Vegetation survey, modelling and remote-sensing applications are welcome. Papers on vegetation science which do not fit to this scope (do not have an applied aspect and are not vegetation survey) should be directed to our associate journal, the Journal of Vegetation Science. Both journals publish papers on the ecology of a single species only if it plays a key role in structuring plant communities.
