"Our findings highlight the significant effects of #ALAN for soil bacterial and fungal communities, nutrient cycling and #urban#plant health. Moreover, our results suggest that vanishing darkness due to the expanded artificial illumination are likely to have long-term consequences for soil #microbiomes and ecological functioning in urban #ecosystems."

These ′′ blobs ′′ crawl (1cm per hour) phagocusing bacteria, algae, yeasts, protozoa, and other organic material;
