Visual lesson 04

Airflow & boundary layer

Visualize air movement around leaves and the still-air boundary layer that influences heat and vapor exchange.

Airflow & boundary layer

Air movement changes the still-air layer around leaves and therefore heat and vapor exchange
low air movementcheck sheltered canopy zones
Leaf surface

A leaf exchanges heat, water vapor and gases with the surrounding air across its surface and stomatal pores.

Knowledge check

Can you explain what the visual is showing?

Practice

How does stronger air movement around a leaf generally affect the still-air boundary layer?
