Populations | Populations |
- All wild terrestrial and semi-aquatic species found globally (i.e. animals, plants, fungi, microorganisms living fully or partially in natural/semi-natural terrestrial habitats and ecosystems) - All natural/semi-natural habitats and ecosystems (i.e. areas in terms of land use/land cover) | - Humans - Domesticated or cultivated species - Strictly aquatic or marine species (microalgae, fishes) - Urban and agricultural habitats and ecosystems (i.e. areas in terms of land use/land cover) |
Exposures | Exposures |
- All technologies of PV panels (e.g. monocrystalline, CdTe) whatever their configurations (i.e. on roofs, ground, or water) - Real or simulated PV panels - All scales of PV installations whether it be cells, panels, arrays, or wider USSE facilities - The whole lifecycle of USSE facilities (i.e. construction, operation and dismantlement phases) - Management practices being carried out at USSE facilities (e.g. mowing, grazing, rehabilitation) | - PV-powered devices such as global positioning tracking systems for animals, water pumps or lamps - CSP - The lifecycle of PV panels (i.e. material extraction, production and recycling phases) |
Outcomes | Outcomes |
- All outcomes related to the studied population (e.g. mortality, diversity, abundance, growth, distribution, physiology, reproduction, mobility, morphology, behaviour, habitat alteration, habitat connectivity, etc.) | - All abiotic parameters related to the studied natural/semi-natural habitat or ecosystem (e.g. humidity, temperature, radiation) |
Comparators | Comparators |
- Studies comparing a population exposed to a PV installation and a population left unexposed and/or studies comparing a population before and after the construction of a PV installation—Before-After temporal comparator and/or Control-Exposure spatial comparator (e.g. BACE, BAE, CE) - Studies comparing different types of PV installations (e.g. technology, size, inter-row, orientation, angle) - Studies comparing different management practices within USSE facilities (e.g. mowing, grazing, rehabilitation) - Studies comparing different contexts such as different climatic conditions or different ecosystems surrounding USSE facilities | - Studies without any comparator |
