Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance
