The vegetation around the PPP mainly includes Tamarix elongata, Agropyron desertorum, Suaeda glauca, and Cirsium segetum as well as small distributions of Peganum harmala, Festuca glauca, Nitraria tangutorum and Lycium chinense. The photovoltaic panels have upper and lower layers with an inclination angle of 37°.
Sites with photovoltaic power plants create conditions for species-rich plant communities. The presence of photovoltaic panels alters the vegetation species composition. The species composition of vegetation creates preconditions for a range of relationships and interactions with the surrounding ecosystems.
Co-locating solar photovoltaics with vegetation could provide a sustainable solution to meeting growing food and energy demands. However, studies quantifying multiple co-benefits resulting from maintaining vegetation at utility-scale solar power plants are limited.
While the effects of photovoltaic panels on soil… The arrangement of PV panels increased the plant species diversity and soil microorganisms in grassland and is of great significance for maintaining grassland ecosystem function.
Armstrong et al. (2016) inform that the vegetation under PV panels is dominated by grasses, which is in contradiction with the results of our research. On our site, only grasses were sown between the PV panels, and their competition apparently led to the suppression of other species and to their dominance.
The vegetation has grown well due to the shading, wind-sheltering, and water accumulation effects of the panels. Photovoltaic Power Plant can promote biological soil crusts and improve vegetation growth. The Ca, S and Cl inside the Photovoltaic Power Plant were higher than those outside.

Our findings reveal the spatial heterogeneity in the impact of PV plants on vegetation dynamics—PV plant deployment promoted the growth of vegetation in the vast majority of arid and hyper-arid drylands, while it tends to cause vegetation decline in the sub-humid and semi-arid drylands.
