We found that SPP construction decreased the local air temperature and photosynthetically active radiation, while increasing air humidity, especially in grasslands. Furthermore, plant aboveground biomass and vegetation cover were also enhanced by SPP construction in. . In the U., the Department of Energy predicts that solar will account for nearly 60% of all new utility-scale, electricity-generating capacity installed in 2024. But ideal locations for solar development often overlap with croplands or grasslands used for livestock grazing. Typically, large-scale. . elopment is large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plants. These utility-scale solar farms are being installed around the world on a variety of terrestrial surfaces, including grassla ction is a key aspect of the solar development process. FE increased precipitation accumulation and plant species diversity directly and indirectly changed the dive unity diversityby driving microclimate change.
