The threecorner milkvetch population surged at Nevada’s Gemini Solar site due to careful ecological planning, showing solar projects and desert ecosystems can coexist.
A rare desert plant, the threecorner milkvetch, has thrived at Nevada’s Gemini Solar site, with its population growing from about a dozen to over 90 plants after construction.
Researchers attribute the rebound to careful planning, including avoiding heavy grading and preserving topsoil, which allowed dormant seeds to survive.
The findings suggest large solar projects and native desert ecosystems can coexist when developers prioritize ecological preservation, offering a model for future renewable energy development in the Mountain West.
