Description

These camera trap datasets are derived from the Agouti project EcoC Inventory 2022 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands and EcoC Inventory 2024 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands. Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the camtraptor R package and only include observations (and associated media) of animals. Excluded are records that document blank or unclassified media, vehicles, and observations of humans. Geospatial coordinates are rounded to 0.001 degrees. The original dataset description follows. EcoC Inventory 2022/2024 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands are occurrence dataset published by Wageningen University and Research (WUR), which was funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency under grant number MOOI22004 and is part of the EcoCertified Solar Parks project. Both data sets are monitoring of the effect of solar fields on species in solar fields, extensive meadow controls, and intensive grassland controls. Data were collected by the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation chair group. The cameras used are all Reconix HF2X. All species were annotated to the species level if possible; if not genus level was accepted. The inventory happened in 15 solar fields with their paired controls, an extensive and an intensive grassland. AI (MegaDetector V6) was used to annotate blank pictures only.

Données sur le projet

As an answer to energy transition goals, there are more and more solar fields being built in the landscape. In contrast with other renewable energy utilities like wind farms, the impact of solar fields on biodiversity is still unknown. However, this impact should not be overlooked, as they may have a large land requirement. With the EcoCertified project, the goal is to understand the current effect of solar fields on local biodiversity, from the soil to the larger mammal taxa.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

A block-plot design was applied (15 block and 3 plot per block). Locations were selected based on access permission given by the solar field asset manager. The cameras were set up at 40 cm above the ground and took 3 to 5 picture by detection with a 30s interval between two detections. Once a month, the cameras were moved around the fields to avoid over- or under-sampling the fields due to micro-habitat features. Images were collected from the camera traps and uploaded to Agouti. Students and project members annotated the pictures on agouti.

Etendue de l'étude 15 locationscomprising 15 solar fields and 30 controls, in the Netherlands were sampled using 80 camera traps (2 in each field). The cameras were randomly placed in the field and moved around once a month.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. - Randomly selecttwo points in each field 100 m away - Set-up the camera with a unique identifier - Parameter the trigger: 10 pictures, no quiet period, high sensitivity, a wide range of view, and 24 hours of activity - Place the camera 40 cm (knee height) from the ground. - Calibrate the camera using a 1 m stick marked every 10 cm by taking 15 pictures at different points in front of the camera - Parameter the trigger: three pictures, a quiet period of 30 seconds, high sensitivity, a wide range of view, and 24 hours of activity - Leave the camera for at least three weeks - Collect the pictures and move the cameras 50 m from their previous location - Upload the camera on Agouti, use the AI to annotate the blanks, annotate pictures

Remerciements This project was funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency under grant number MOOI22004 and is part of the EcoCertified Solar Parks project. We greatly thank the many students who have helped with the annotation of the pictures, in particular, Aliki Marmara, Dimitri Tavernier, and Hanna Willers. We express our gratitude to all asset managers, farmers, and Natuurmonumenten and Staatsbosbeheer field managers for facilitating our entry to their fields. Finally, we thank Sebastiaan Forouzan Fard of Eelerwoude for facilitating communication with the solar field managers.
Objet The impact of solar fields on farmland species is uncertain. They may threaten local species by reducing habitat quality, but they could also enhance landscape heterogeneity and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to compare the biodiversity within solar fields and two control fields: an intensive grassland from a dairy farm and an extensive meadow managed to increase biodiversity.
