Aridity thresholds govern the ecological responses to solar parks worldwide

This repository contains the data, R code, and figures supporting the findings of the study "Aridity thresholds govern the ecological responses to solar parks worldwide". The dataset comprises 1,287 observations from 76 peer-reviewed studies on the effects of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations on plant and soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions across global aridity gradients. Files include: (1) the compiled meta-analytic dataset with effect sizes (lnRR) and associated variance; (2) R scripts for all statistical analyses; and (3) figures generated for the main text and supplementary materials.
