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 …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a hallmark anthropogenic disturbance to urban ecosystems
in the Anthropocene. However, the potential effects of ALAN on urban soil microbial …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a recognised disruptor of biological function and ecological
communities. Despite increasing research effort, we know little regarding the effect of ALAN …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been shown to alter aspects of plant growth, but we are not
aware of any studies that have examined whether the effects of ALAN on plants depend …

Summary 1 Soil science and ecology have developed independently, making it difficult for
ecologists to contribute to urgent current debates on the destruction of the global soil …

Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact
organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or …

The introduction of artificial nighttime lighting due to human settlements and transport
networks is increasingly altering the timing, intensity, and spectra of natural light regimes …

Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the
1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as …

Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to
light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have …

Soils play a key role in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this
study, we review the contribution of soils to the regulation of air quality, which is one of …
