Abstract
This study explores the influence of artificial light pollution on the photosynthesis efficiency of urban plants and evaluates the mitigating effects of natural amino acids. Experiments were conducted on urban tree species exposed to varying intensities of artificial light at night (ALAN). The plants were treated with a solution containing amino acids such as taurine and glycine to assess potential protective effects. Photosynthesis rates, chlorophyll fluorescence, and overall plant health were monitored over a four-week period. Results indicate that ALAN significantly reduces photosynthesis efficiency in urban plants, but treatment with natural amino acids can partially mitigate these detrimental effects, enhancing plant resilience. This study suggests that amino acid supplementation could be a valuable strategy in urban landscaping to combat the adverse effects of light pollution.
