Spectral dataset of natural objects’ reflectance from the Southern cone of South America

Abstract

This dataset currently contains the spectral reflectance of 532 samples of natural objects, ranging from 400 to 1000 nm in 4 nm increments. These records correspond to plants (302 samples), animals (167 samples), and stones (63 samples). The objects were collected in the field, purchased at local fruit and vegetable markets, or borrowed from museum collections in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina.
