A worldwide looms over a group of Shaft That has begun to behave strangely. The reason behind his attitude would lie in a technology that we know very well. The Shaft They are fascinating creatures who have caught the attention of experts and fans since immeasurable times.
His beauty, flight capacity and diversity have increased the curiosity of scientists, observers of Shaft And eternal love with natural beauty.
But outside its striking appearance in some Acasos, the Shaft They also travel a rich domestic life that is appreciated by his behavior, with varied habits and habits.
As with other animals, Shaft They have to perform different vital functions to survive, such as reproduction, defense against their predators, competitiveness and a long etc.
Generally the behavior of Shaft It is usually subject to vital functions and senses. Now it has been discovered that an energy technology that we have the natural behavior of the Shaft.
Birds now behave differently: solar panels are the fault
Under this framework, a new study reveals that solar farms with different habitats can cherish up to three times Shaft And 2.5 times more bird species than intensive cultivation fields. Solar farms that agree to the growth of plants in the vicinity of the solar panels and hedges or trees in their environment to find out prosperous habitats for the presence of Shaft.
This perspective can combine the production of clean energy with the refund of biodiversity, without harming food generation. United Kingdom It is one of the areas that has grown the most in solar capacity the last time and registers 17.2 GW in 2024.
He Government It has its own plans to achieve carbon neutrality: increase this capacity to 70 GW par 2035 and reach 90 GW by 2050. However, the expansion of photovoltaic energy brings various ecological challenges, such as the maintenance of biodiversity.
Despite the lack of earlier analysis, a new study has shown that solar farms can provide the Avifauna great benefits if they are available on ecological principles.
The latest studies on solar farms reveal something unthinkable about birds
During the spring of 2023, studies were conducted on solar farms from East Anglia With different types of management. Some bear the seal of scientists of the RSPB and the Cambridge University And they were published in the magazine Bird study.
On the one hand, solar farms of intensive management were analyzed (with short grass and without hedges) and on the other hand farms with mixed habitats (high grass, wild flowers and hedges) and adjacent intensive cultivation grounds, which they compare with each other.
The results derived from the report surprised. Sun farms with mixed habitats registered as Triple Shaft Then cultivation land and to double those intensive sun farms. In addition, the number of species was 2.5 times larger than these farms.
The solar farms with various vegetation are also exposed to a hiding place for endangered species, such as the Escribano Coillo (Emberriza Citrinella), the common brown (cannabine), the common Double (Chloris Chloris) and the Triguero (Emberiza Calandra).
The ecological success behind these ecological solar farms has to do with their hedges and trees in the limits (they offer food and protection), high and varied vegetation between the solar panels (which gives habitats and prey for birds) and absence of pesticides and fewer human disruptions.
Intensive cultivation grounds and solar farms, on the other hand, do not have these elements without ecological management, which limits their attractiveness to fauna. A shocking energy scenario that is currently next to the tree from AgroVoltaic in Spain.
Birds reveal the world a new chance to take advantage of energy
The aforementioned analysis shows that the expansion of solar energy should not be seen as a way to harm biodiversity. If this is optimally designed, solar farms can contribute to low -carbon and ecological recovery.
United Kingdom has shown that Shaft They can change their behavior because of the arrangement of solar farms. So it goes a step further than AgroVoltaic, the art of supplementing crops with the production of solar energy.
