Light entrains the endogenous circadian clocks of organisms to synchronize their behavioral and physiological rhythms with the natural photoperiod. The presence of artificial light at night disrupts these photoperiodic cues and is currently considered to

Artificial light at night as a new threat to pollination
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.

Stemming the tide of light pollution encroaching into Marine Protected Areas [PDF]
Open Access journalMany marine ecosystems are shaped by regimes of natural light guiding the behaviour of their constituent species. As evidenced from terrestrial systems, the global introduction of nighttime lighting is likely influencing these ...

Artificial Light at Night: A New Challenge in Microphytobenthos Research
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recently recognized as a globally widespread anthropogenic disturbance, characterized by different intensities and spectra, as well as spatial and temporal variability.

One more consequence from the impact of artificial light at night
Using artificial light at night gives a lot of benefits for humanity, but, at the same time, it has changed our planet significantly. However, the problem was not taken seriously until its scale became noticeable.

Pomiary zanieczyszczenia świetlnego w warunkach Republiki Czeskiej [PDF]
Obtrusive light (light pollution) refers to both the night sky luminance as well as any light that radiates to the places where it is not required. Moreover, this kind of light increases the energy losses.

Optical Sky Brightness at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory from 1992 to 2006
We present optical UBVRI sky brightness measures from 1992 through 2006. The data are based on CCD imagery obtained with the CTIO 0.9-m, 1.3-m, and 1.5-m telescopes.

Human alteration of natural light cycles: causes and ecological consequences. [PDF]
Artificial light at night is profoundly altering natural light cycles, particularly as perceived by many organisms, over extensive areas of the globe. This alteration comprises the introduction of light at night at places and times at which it has not ...
