Scientific Bibliography Observatory – Updated

In 2023, the Steppe Forward Chair created the Scientific Bibliography Observatory on Solar Photovoltaic Energy and Biodiversity, with the goal of providing a repository of scientific literature that facilitates and speeds up access to the most up-to-date knowledge on the compatibility between biodiversity conservation and the development of photovoltaic renewable energy. The peer-review process to which all included articles are subjected ensures the highest quality of the information provided.

Over the past few months, new scientific articles have been added, bringing the total to 286 bibliographic references available. The collected bibliography focuses mainly on studies conducted in North America, followed by Europe and Asia. Regarding the ecosystem context, most studies have been carried out in desert areas or agroecosystems. In terms of ecosystem components, these are fairly evenly represented, although plants show a slight predominance compared to other components such as soil, birds, or microclimate.

Additionally, a new interactive chart has been incorporated, allowing users to visually summarize the Observatory’s content according to different factors or categories.
