Biodiversiteit toekomstig zonnepark Oudenhoorn: Nulmeting van vegetatie, dagvlinders en libellen

A solar park in Oudenhoorn will be built by Farm Frites early 2023 and will be operational at the end of 2023. The solar park and nature dikes were monitored in 2021 by students of HAS University of Applied Sciences. In 2022, Wageningen Environmental Research made another inventory of the location and this inventory serves as a baseline measurement before the construction of the solar park. The following groups of species were inventoried: vegetation, butterflies and dragonflies. The quality of the soil also has been analysed. However, no responsible comparison can be made between the data of 2021 and 2022 due to observer effects, differences in approach, experience and knowledge and inaccurate locations. To improve the coverage of plant species on the nature dikes, it is important to mow the dikes twice a year and to dispose of the grass clippings.
