Abstract

Abstract:

Driven by the global consolidation of carbon-neutrality targets and the rapid diffusion of renewable energy technologies, the scale of wind and solar power plant construction has expanded substantially, resulting in increasingly complex ecological and environmental impacts. Due to differences in deployment contexts, spatial configurations, and impact mechanisms, wind and solar installations exhibit distinct ecological effect profiles. Consequently, a parallel and comparative bibliometric analysis is required to clarify research trajectories and the evolution of thematic hotspots in both domains, thereby providing a theoretical basis for developing a synergistic framework that reconciles renewable-energy expansion with ecological conservation. Using the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure as data sources, we retrieved publications addressing the ecological impacts of wind and solar power plant construction and employed CiteSpace to generate visual knowledge maps and conduct bibliometric analyses. The results indicate that: (1) Research on the eco-environmental impacts of wind power began earlier and maintained a leading position before 2017, with research foci gradually extending from single-species assessments to ecosystem-level analyses; in contrast, eco-environmental research on solar power has increased markedly since 2020, with particular emphases on microclimatic regulation in arid regions and soil-vegetation interactions. (2) China and the United States occupy central positions within the international collaboration network, while institutional research orientations display a complementary pattern: studies from Europe and the United States tend to emphasize ecological risk assessment and model development, whereas domestic research places greater emphasis on process monitoring and restoration-oriented practices. (3) Wind-power eco-environmental research predominantly focuses on biotic responses and collision-risk monitoring, whereas solar-power eco-environmental research foregrounds ecological conservation and the application of emerging agricultural technologies; changes in land-use patterns constitute a critical intersection between the two research streams. By implementing a cross-lingual, dual-database, parallel bibliometric comparison and systematically integrating wind- and solar-related eco-environmental research, this study provides a robust evidence base and methodological reference for the synergistic assessment of renewable-energy development and ecological conservation.
