Introduction Light pollution has increased dramatically in the last decades and has become a global threat to biodiversity (Koen et al., 2018; Kyba et al., 2017; Sánchez De Miguel, Bennie, et al., 2021). Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects organisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in various, often detrimental ways.

Introduction Grasslands constitute valuable habitats with high biodiversity, are used for fodder production and livestock grazing and provide other key ecosystem services (Dengler et al., 2020). Land-use change affects these ecosystems in many ways (Schils et al., 2022). Intensification alters species composition and is a major driver of biodiversity loss (Allan et al., 2014).
