This project aims to determine the ecological effects of artificial light at night on coastal marine ecosystems. Artificial light at night is a pervasive stressor that disrupts a fundamental driver of ecological and evolutionary processes: natural light cycles. Using a holistic approach that combines field experiments and microbial ecology, this project will assess impacts of artificial light at multiple levels of biological and ecological organisation. Expected outcomes include new knowledge on how species interactions mediate functional changes in response to an emergent, global stressor. This should provide significant benefits, including enhanced management of coastal systems and the critical services and social benefits they provide.

该项目旨在确定夜间人造光对沿海海洋生态系统的生态影响。夜间的人造光是一种普遍的压力源，它破坏了生态和进化过程的基本驱动力：自然光周期。该项目采用结合实地实验和微生物生态学的整体方法，将评估人造光对生物和生态组织多个层面的影响。预期成果包括新的知识，物种之间的相互作用如何介导的功能变化，以应对一个紧急的，全球性的压力。这将带来重大惠益，包括加强对沿海系统的管理及其提供的关键服务和社会惠益。
