Artificial light at night as a new threat to pollination

Nature, 2017
Pollinators are declining worldwide and this has raised concerns for a parallel decline in the essential pollination service they provide to both crops and wild plants. Anthropogenic drivers linked to this decline include habitat changes, intensive agriculture, pesticides, invasive alien species, spread of pathogens and climate change.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) causes shifts in soil communities and functions

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing worldwide, but its effects on the soil system have not yet been investigated. We tested the influence of experimental manipulation of ALAN on two taxa of soil communities (microorganisms and soil nematodes ...

Marine artificial light at night: An empirical and technical guide [PDF]

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract The increasing illumination of our world by artificial light at night (ALAN) has created a new field of global change research with impacts now being demonstrated across taxa, biological ranks and spatial scales.

Evidence That Reduced Air and Road Traffic Decreased Artificial Night-Time Skyglow during COVID-19 Lockdown in Berlin, Germany

Remote Sensing, 2020
Artificial skyglow, the brightening of the night sky by artificial light at night that is scattered back to Earth within the atmosphere, is detrimental to astronomical observations and has an impact on ecosystems as a form of light pollution.

Artificial night light and thyroid cancer

World Journal of Methodology
BACKGROUND The occurrence of thyroid cancer (TC) has increased in recent decades. Exposure to outdoor artificial light at night (ALN) is associated with an increased risk of cancer. AIM To investigated the impact of ALN, as a significant environmental pollutant, on TC incidence worldwide.

How Mobility and Temporal Contexts May Affect Environmental Exposure Measurements: Using Outdoor Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) and Urban Green Space as Examples

Annals of the American Association of Geographers
Temporal contexts are essential for the derivation of causally relevant environmental exposure in environmental and public health studies. We argue that the proper temporal contexts need further emphasis in the mobility-oriented research paradigm and ...

Confounding associations between green space and outdoor artificial light at night: Systematic investigations and implications for urban health

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology
Excessive urbanization leads to considerable nature deficiency and abundant artificial infrastructure in urban areas, which triggered intensive discussions on people's exposure to green space and outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN).
