    ABSTRACT
    The amount of solar radiation absorbed by the leaf is a function of the photosynthetic pigments it contains. Chlorophyll provides an indirect estimate of nutritional status because most of the nitrogen in leaves is incorporated into chlorophyll. The measurements were carried out with three types of leaves (sun, partial shade and shade) for Santa Maria (pear) variety (Tirana region, Albania) in two areas, under and above water. The reflectance values in the 400–800nm wavelength provide the opportunity to determine the parameters that evaluate the activity of the photosynthetic apparatus of fruit trees in two different areas in the same period.
