Urban fruit reflectance project

Shrub honeysuckle with berries

Naturalis scientists and students jointly study how light is being reflected by leaves and fruits of Dutch urban plants to better understand their dispersal. Light spectra are being collected from both native and closely related exotic species. Discoveries are published in the popular blog series Stadsplanten.
