Warming decreases thermal heterogeneity of leaf surfaces: implications for behavioural thermoregulation by arthropods (2014, background): “In addition, the range of within-canopy variation in leaf temperatures varies from about 6°C up to more than 10°C for eight deciduous tree species in a temperate forest (Leuzinger & K€orner 2007).”
Leaf form-climate relationships on the global stage: an ensemble of characters (2015, background): “That plants maintain a nearly constant leaf temperature (21.4 ± 2.2 °C) over a wide range of conditions (Hellicker & Richter, 2008) illustrates the homeostatic role of leaf and canopy form (Leuzinger & Korner, 2007).”
Forest microclimates and climate change: Importance, drivers and future research agenda (2021, background): “Leuzinger & Körner (2007) showed that leaf temperature regimes in canopies vary enormously over short vertical distances in several coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved tree species.”
Biodiversity in forest carbon sequestration initiatives: not just a side benefit (2009, background): “influence climate at the local, regional, or larger scales, depending on the size of the vegetation patches [21,27 ,28,29].”
Species-specific water use by forest tree species: from the tree to the stand (2012, background): “, 2000), and even between different species within the same functional group (Leuzinger and Körner, 2007).”
