Vincent Grognuz wins the phenology competition 2025
Vincent Grognuz wins the phenology competition 2025 organized by the Swiss Commmission for Phenology and Seasonality of SCNAT with his poster entitled: "Artificial light at night disrupts timing of floral resources availability".
As part of his doctoral thesis at University of Zurich and Agroscope Reckenholz (Research Division Agroecology and Environment), Vincent Grognuz investigated how artificial light at night disrupts timing of floral resources availability. Artificial light is increasing globally altering natural light cycles and impacting ecological processes. The study clearly that artificial light shifts phenology parameters of most of the investigated wildflowers, creating a potential mismatch with peak activity of pollinators. This disruption could impact plant-pollinator interactions and affect ecosystem stability.
