3、 time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do.

20、 or pests. Light. Youll be most successful if you have bright light available for most of the day (1216 hours).

21、lights that can be kept at an optimal distance from your growing seedlings. Water. Seedlings need consistent moisture, since they havent yet developed root systems and leaf networks to help them store it in dry times.

28、an- made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that. By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7
29、.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they 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,
30、who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, caterpillars are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the yo
31、ung caterpillar,” he said. Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings. Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim
