The mitigation hierarchy provides developers with a logical framework to address the negative impacts of development on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It is applicable to projects in any sector, including renewable energy, and is based on the sequential and iterative application of four鈥
The available scientific literature agrees on the key impacts of offshore wind: i) risk of collision mortality; ii) displacement due to disturbance (including noise impacts); iii) barrier effects (also including noise impacts); iv habitat loss; and v) indirect ecosystem-level effects. There is鈥
Studies on biodiversity impacts of onshore wind have focused mainly on birds, bats and natural habitats, with limited understanding of impacts to other taxa, including non-flying mammals. Wind energy developments can affect birds and bats through direct mortality and through loss and degradation鈥
Solar plants have been shown to create positive biodiversity impacts when compared to other types of intensive land use. For example, solar plants in the UK previously used for agriculture were found to have a greater diversity of flora and birds when managed through grazing.
