  3. 12. The ecological impact of artificial light at night in landscape architecture : strategies and guidelines for street lights for the benefit of biodiversity and local wildlife

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Zozan Altun; [2023]
    Keywords : light pollution; artificial light at night; ecology; biodiversity; local wildlife; landscape architecture; guidelines; strategies;

    Abstract : Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly common form of light pollution that contributes to biodiversity loss, loss of dark habitats, disrupting populations both on an individual- and population level by invading biodiversity hot spots. Recent studies show that artificial light is increasing at a rate of approximately 6% annually over Earth’s surface, and 88% of Europe and 47% of the United States experience light pollution on a nightly basis.
