Leaf temperatures of desert plants.

D M Gates, R Alderfer, E Taylor.   

Abstract

Temperatures of small leaves of many desert plants are within 3 degrees C of air temperature in contrast to the temperature of Opuntia in the same locale; this plant has a temperature 10 degrees to 16 degrees C above air temperature. Theoretical4 justification for the observation is given based on an energy budget analysis.
