Artificial light at night (ALAN) causes shifts in soil communities and functions. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 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) and three aspects of soil functioning (soil basal respiration, soil microbial biomass and carbon use
