Popis: | Light is one of the main factors that influences the greatest phenomenon of nature, namely photosynthesis. In modern society, excessive artificial light at night (ALAN) in the conditions of the urban environment can be considered as an external polluting factor as well. The purpose of this study carried out on Taxus baccata L. (1-year old leaves - PYL and the current year - CYL ones) grown as a hedge in urban conditions was to explore the effects of ALAN on leaves morphology, gas exchanges and associated indicators, as well as on assimilatory pigments content. The results showed that: (1) The leaves length (LL)(mm) of CYL, as well as surface area (cm |
