Living beings need water. That's because the first living beings to appear were living in water and used the chemical property of water to maintain their metabolisms, a quality everyone received from heredity... So water influence the prevalence on earth of finding living organisms for the reason that we need, among other things, water.
If you remove some of the heat generated by the sun, e.g. through the use of solar panels, less kinetic energy will be present at the surface of the ground, and the rate at which water will evaporate will slow down. This will allow living organism to use this water to grow and replicate...
From the nanosolar blog, you can read "In fact, in dry regions, the solar panels even benefit the ecosystem by increasing the moisture level in the soil."

That's the best BS I have heard all week! Living crusts and soil microbes would not be able to survive in warm, arid regions if there was not a heat/tolorance factor. Plus the organic layer would stabolize the evaporation. Look it up, and try to use a library and not a blog. Plus if you scrape the organic layer off, you get no buffer. We are talking about living matter supressing carbon, not shade. You can't better a balanced ecosystem.
