Contribution of the flag leaf to lead absorption in wheat grain at the grain-filling stage
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Wheat flag leaf (FL) is one of the primary sources of carbohydrates in grains; however, its role in grain lead (Pb) absorption remains unclear. A field experiment was conducted to assess the relative contribution of the FL to Pb accumulation in wheat ...

Evaluation of Light Pollution in Global Protected Areas from 1992 to 2018
Remote Sensing, 2021 Light pollution, a phenomenon in which artificial nighttime light (NTL) changes the form of brightness and darkness in natural areas such as protected areas (PAs), has become a global concern due to its threat to global biodiversity.

The growing threat of light pollution to ground-based observatories
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2022 Human activity is rapidly increasing the negative impact of artificial skyglow at even the most remote professional observatory sites. Assessment of the actual impact requires an understanding of the propagation as a function of source spectral energy ...

, 2013 Light pollution is one of the fastest growing and most pervasive of environmental pollution (Chepesiuk, 2009). In the last couple of years, a lot of research has been done about the effects of light pollution. The interest in light pollution has been growing in many fields of science, extending from the traditional field of astronomy to atmospheric ...

Light pollution forces a change in dung beetle orientation behavior.
Current Biology, 2021 Increasing global light pollution1,2 threatens the night-time darkness to which most animals are adapted. Light pollution can have detrimental effects on behavior,3-5 including by disrupting the journeys of migratory birds,5,6 sand hoppers,7-9 and moths ...
