Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>This is my favorite photo for demonstrating the impact of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LightPollution</span></a> on physiology. The image was taken by shows a soybean field illuminated by a badly directed streetlight.</p><p>What's happening here is that soybeans are supposed to grow leaves in the early part of summer, and as nights get longer, they should make <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/soybeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soybeans</span></a> and turn brown. In the green area, the plants don't understand what time of year it is, and it's therefore a complete loss for the farmer.</p><p>The reason I love the photo so much is because you can see the shadow of the light mast on the field.</p><p>The photo was taken by Dwaine Eddie McGriff &amp; Ben Tankersley, and originally posted to Xitter (the post no longer exists).</p><p>The problem could be entirely solved by using a streetlight with strong backlight shielding (i.e. shining the light only on the roadway).</p><p>(4/17)</p>
