Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85
largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the

According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies,
billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that
plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth.
Since temperatu公res can vary dramatically throughout the winter,the length of daylight is the signal trees look for

The development of a sponge city involves different stages. In the initial planning phase, the Asian Games
Village transitioned from managing rainwater through “infiltration, retention (保留), and storage” to a more
comprehensive approach of “purification, utilization, and discharge”. This created a system for organic rainwater
circulation to support the green Asian Games. Furthermore, the village stuck to the low-impact development
philosophy, exercising careful control over construction intensity, Geng added. They designed an ecological
sponge base,di公videdintosub-unitsbasedonrainwatercollectionzones, withfeatures likepermeable (可渗透的)

The American black bear was once common across much of the continent. 36 They were killed by
farmers who feared for their livestock and hunted for their thick fat. By the mid-20th century, numbers had
dwindled (减少), and they were listed as endangered in several states. 37 Hunting seasons and limits were
established, and state-funded research programs helped inform management practices. Previously cleared areas
