Artificial light at night (ALAN) causes shifts in soil communities and functions [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: 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) and three aspects of soil functioning (soil basal respiration, soil microbial biomass and carbon use

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN), an Anthropogenic Pollutant: A Narrative Review
PollutantsThe simplest definition of light pollution (LP) is the presence of artificial light at night (ALAN) at inappropriate times, intensity, and inappropriate amounts and colors. All these parameters of anthropogenic light clearly indicate that the presence of

Nocturnal Lepidoptera Larvae in Mega‐Project: Habitat and Environmental Factors Over Construction Effects [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.This study assessed the effects of construction‐related factors, including ALAN, on nocturnal Lepidoptera larvae in mega‐project areas. The results suggest that local environmental conditions play a greater role than ALAN intensity in shaping larval assemblages.
