Scien tists finally found the answer but it s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and

26、the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season. Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive （ 过多的 ） man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and als

By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And the

28、y found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard Ffrench-Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more t
