#CleanEnergy and #biodiversity
Simple habitat: intensively managed, grazed by sheep.
Mixed habitat solar farms: hedgerows around the edges, no sheep grazing or grass cutting, greater diversity of flowering plants.
"The highest abundance of threatened bird species (such s Corn Bunting, Greenfinch, Yellowhammer and Linnet) was in mixed habitat solar and was significantly higher than in both surrounding arable land and in the simple habitat solar sites."
