研究发现,通宵街头灯光使树叶对昆虫来说过于坚硬,有可能影响城市食物链。 Study finds all-night streetlights make leaves too tough for insects, potentially affecting urban food chains.
《植物科学前沿》发表的一项研究发现,通宵街头灯光会使树叶变得太硬,昆虫吃不下,有可能威胁食物链。 A study published in Frontiers in Plant Science found that all-night streetlights can make leaves too tough for insects to eat, potentially threatening the food chain. 在像北京这样的城市生态系统中,树叶由于叶的坚韧性和草原的减少,导致昆虫损害程度较低。 In urban ecosystems like Beijing, tree leaves showed lower levels of insect damage due to increased leaf toughness and decreased herbivory. 研究表明,人工光线可能导致植物特性的变化,导致昆虫种群减少,并影响整个食物链。 The research suggests that artificial light may lead to changes in plant properties, causing a decline in insect populations and impacting the entire food chain.
