Solar plants, environmental degradation and local socioeconomic contexts: A case study in a Mediterranean country
L Delfanti, A Colantoni, F Recanatesi… - Environmental Impact …, 2016 - Elsevier
Photovoltaic plants developed on rural land are becoming a common infrastructure in the
Mediterranean region and may contribute, at least indirectly, to various forms of
environmental degradation including landscape deterioration, land take, soil degradation
and loss in traditional cropland and biodiversity. Our study illustrates a procedure estimating
(i) the extension of ground-mounted photovoltaic fields at the municipal scale in Italy and (ii)
inferring the socioeconomic profile of the Italian municipalities experiencing different …
