“…By binding colloids and stabilizing soil structure, SOM plays a key role in soil physical properties and nutrient cycling (Six et al, 2004). Telak & Bogunovic (2020) showed a decrease in SOM and MWD in a vineyard of Croatia after intensive and frequent tillage. Such mechanical disturbance for many years may have affected soil structure of the vineyard on which the studied SP (Roquefort des Corbières) was constructed.…”

Effects of solar park construction and solar panels on soil quality, microclimate, CO₂ effluxes, and vegetation under a Mediterranean climate

Solar energy is increasingly used to produce electricity in Europe, but the environmental impact of constructing and running solar parks (SP) is not yet well studied. Solar park construction requires partial vegetation removal and soil leveling. Additionally, solar panels may alter soil microclimate and functioning. In our study of three French Mediterranean solar parks, we analyzed:(1) effects of solar park construction on soil quality by comparing solar park soils with those of semi‐natural land cover types (pinewood and shrubland) and abandoned croplands (former vineyards); and (2) the effect of solar panels on soil microclimate, CO2 effluxes, and vegetation. We measured 21 soil properties of physical, chemical, and microbiological soil quality in one solar park and its surroundings to calculate integrated indicators of soil quality. We surveyed soil temperature and moisture, CO2 effluxes, and vegetation below and outside solar panels of three solar parks. Soil aggregate stability was reduced by SP construction resulting in a degradation of soil physical quality. Soil chemical quality and a general indicator of soil quality were lower in anthropogenic (SP and abandoned vineyards) than in semi‐natural (pinewood and shrubland) land cover types. However, differences between abandoned vineyards representing the preconstruction land cover type and solar parks were not significant. Solar panels reduced the soil temperature by 10% and soil CO2 effluxes by 50% but did not affect early successional plant communities. Long‐term monitoring is needed to evaluate the effects of solar panels on vegetation.

“…Tillage is considered the management practice that trigger the highest runoff (Marques et al, 2020) and erosion rates (Telak & Bogunovic, 2020), especially when vineyards are planted in the direction of the slope gradient (Biddoccu et al, 2018; Marques et al, 2020). Our results are comparable with the similar studies using levelling methods for erosion estimation.…”

We evaluated the effect of increased erosion events and decreased management intensity on the degradation of traditional vineyards. The study area is located near Vráble, Slovakia, in an area with warm dry climate with mild winters, and Luvisol and Regosol soils. For the erosion measurements, we used the pole height method, which uses vineyard poles as a passive soil-surface marker. The erosion of a tilled vineyard increased from 33.47 Mg ha À1 yr À1 in the period 1983-2010 to 55.34 Mg ha À1 yr À1 in the period 2010-2021. In comparison, the erosion of the hoed and grassed vineyard has not changed significantly. We also quantified the regeneration of soil in abandoned vineyards. An average increase in level of the soil surface level after abandonment in 2010 was 0.56 mm yr À1 . A control plot showed minimal change in the average exposed pole height over 10 years and confirmed the reliability of the pole height method. Land cover and management practices have dramatically changed in the study area over the last decade. Only 27.16% of the total vineyard area is currently tilled and potentially threatened by soil erosion. On the other hand, 35.73% of the vineyards are abandoned; abandonment is expected to continue into the future.Therefore, the loss of management associated with vineyard abandonment is more strongly linked to their degradation than increased soil erosion intensity.
