Method synopsis

Field measurement of leaf temperature and air temperature relationships across multiple species and ecosystems to characterize thermal response slopes (β values). Data collection involves simultaneous measurement of leaf and air temperatures under natural conditions.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — A model for leaf temperature decoupling from air temperature (2018), Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
