Notus Energy
Paris
As part of an agrivoltaic project led by Notus Energy, we studied the ecological potential of a site to propose developments integrating biodiversity and agricultural functionalities. E-BIOM therefore carried out a Biodiversity Assessment and completed it with eDNA analysis of several biotic parameters such as the biological quality of the soil (soil samples), the melliferous potential (honey samples), the floristic diversity (plant kits) and inventories of aquatic biodiversity (water samples).
- Biodiversity inventories carried out according to a scientific protocol - eDNA highlighted the presence of several aquatic species of biological interest - eDNA on soil allowed the implementation of 3 biological quality indicators - eDNA on honey made it possible to determine the flora diversity and the honey potential - eDNA based on the plant kit revealed the soil texture and hydric conditions - eDNA made it possible to highlight several parameters to best guide this agrivoltaic project
Our Solution is based on our methodology, called environmental DNA. The principle is simple: all living organisms leave DNA traces in their environment. It is thus possible, based on a simple sample of the environment such as water from a pond or a river, seawater, a little soil or honey, to recover and analyze this DNA to precisely determine the biodiversity present in the ecosystem. And when we talk about biodiversity, we talk about all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. In our laboratory, the DNA present in the sample is extracted. This DNA is generally present in small quantities and must therefore be amplified by PCR. After DNA sequencing, our bioinformaticians analyze and interpret this data with the help of our ecologist team. The method is powerful and can be applied to monitoring biodiversity for effective conservation, impact mitigation and restoration projects, but also for the detection and monitoring of pathogens or bacteria in wastewater or industrial processes.
