A study by Bienvenue et al. from France found significant differences in plant species richness under and outside solar panels, calling for differential conservation strategies to enhance vegetation. https://t.co/jn479vHCxC

Solar panels and solar park management change plant communities. Plant species richness and cover are clearly lower under (UP) than outside panels (OP) with intermediate values for microhabitats...

🌳 A new study in Science finds most REDD+ forest carbon offset projects overstate climate benefits. Of 66 project units analysed, only 19% met emissions targets. Just 13.2% of tradable credits were backed by real deforestation reductions. 🗣️“The problem is real, but not
