    Area of Science:

    • Plant physiology and environmental science.

    Background:

    • Plant temperature is a critical factor influenced by environmental conditions like irradiation.
    • Accurate temperature measurement is essential for understanding plant physiological responses.
    • Complex temperature distributions on plant leaves necessitate advanced imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the value of thermocamera imaging for characterizing plant leaf temperature distributions.
    • To identify key environmental factors affecting leaf temperature.
    • To emphasize the limitations of point temperature measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing thermocamera technology to capture detailed leaf surface temperature.
    • Analyzing temperature variations in relation to irradiation and humidity gradients.
    • Investigating the impact of stomatal opening and air velocity on temperature distribution.

    Main Results:

    • Thermocamera imaging effectively visualizes complex temperature patterns on plant leaves.
    • Leaf temperature is significantly affected by irradiation levels, air humidity, stomatal aperture, and air velocity.
    • Point temperature measurements are insufficient without prior knowledge of the overall temperature distribution.
