The development of renewable energy technologies is growing rapidly, with solar energy being the most promising source. Agrivoltaics in particular offers the advantage to combine crop and energy production on the same land. While many studies have looked at the impact of ground-mounted solar power panels on uncultivated grassland, very few have focused on agrivoltaic structures, and none on dual axis trackers with bi-dimensional turning mount-holding panels and limited ground anchorage. Our study focused on the relative impact of such trackers (via anchorage constraint to farming practices, and mobile shading) on the physical, chemical and biological soil features in both wheat croplands and meadows relative to farming practices known for impacting these features. Using a PLS-PM analysis, we show that despite altered chemicals conditions near the tracker and the higher specific plant richness brought by the PV structure, thereby changing environmental conditions, there are no significant effects on organisms compared to agricultural practices. Comparing hay meadows and wheat fields suggests varied impacts, prompting the need for further comparative studies across different agricultural contexts.

准时太阳能跟踪器对农田土壤生物多样性的影响


可再生能源技术的发展正在迅速发展，其中太阳能是最有前途的能源。特别是 Agrivoltaics 提供了在同一块土地上结合作物和能源生产的优势。虽然许多研究都着眼于地面安装太阳能电池板对未开垦草地的影响，但很少有研究关注农业光伏结构，也没有研究具有二维旋转支架固定板和有限地面锚固的双轴跟踪器。我们的研究侧重于此类跟踪器（通过对农业实践的锚固约束和移动阴影）对小麦农田和草地的物理、化学和生物土壤特征的相对影响，相对于已知影响这些特征的耕作方式。使用 PLS-PM 分析，我们表明，尽管跟踪器附近的化学条件发生了变化，并且 PV 结构带来了更高的比植物丰富度，从而改变了环境条件，但与农业实践相比，对生物体没有显着影响。比较干草草甸和麦田表明存在不同的影响，这促使需要在不同农业环境中进行进一步的比较研究。
