Journal of Plant EcologyDifferent intensities of #ArtificialLightAtNight (ALAN) ➡️ The growth of #InvasiveAndNativePlants 🟰 Effects❓
Results:
1️⃣ The photosynthesis of native plants is inhibited under high ALAN.
2️⃣ Invasive plants have stronger phenotypic plasticity and nitrogen-distribution strategy under ALAN.
Dr. John Barentine FRASNew research suggests that artificial light at night exposure in inpatient clinical settings could be a modifiable risk factor for improving #schizophrenia symptoms and preventing relapses. “ALAN exposure may increase the risk of schizophrenia relapse, potentially mediated by gut microbiota and linoleic acid metabolism.”

Peter GutscheIn the timelapse, it is hard to identify the meteors because too many planes and satellites cross the image.
This #timelapse is based on unretouched images and covers a time period of 2 hours.

Um belo texto de Paul Bogard, autor do livro “The End of Night: Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light” (2013), lembrando a influência dos LED no agravamento drástico da #PoluiçãoLuminosa (10% por ano, como apontam os mais recentes estudos, aqui trazidos recentemente).
