Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants [PDF]
, 2016 Summary 1.Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have evolved under a more or less stable regime of 24-h cycles
