Report, Examining the Potential for Agricultural Benefits from Pollinator Habitat at Solar Facilities in the United States

This 2018 report in Environmental Science and Technology identifies over 3,500 km² of agricultural land near existing and planned US solar energy facilities that may benefit from increased pollination services through the creation of pollinator habitat at said facilities. The report discusses how these results may be used to understand potential agro-economic implications of solar-pollinator habitat, and how that ecosystem service restoration through the creation of pollinator habitat could improve the sustainability of large-scale renewable energy developments in agricultural landscapes.
