Light Spectrum for Highland vs. Lowland Nepenthes: Atmospheric Filtering Theory

Orange-shifted light helps lowland Nepenthes; blue-shifted helps highland (Heliamphora)? Plausible physics.

Why It Makes Sense

• More atmosphere → longer path → red shift (sunset effect).
• Lowlands = more air mass → redder light.
• Highlands = less air → bluer light.
• Plants adapt over evolutionary time.

Research Gap

No published studies known. Ripe for experimentation.
