Cannabis gas exchange, photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, PPFD, temperature, and carbon-dioxide response under measured conditions.
Visual lesson 06
Leaf temperature & energy balance
See how absorbed radiation, convective exchange, airflow, stomatal behavior, and evaporative cooling can make leaf temperature differ from surrounding air temperature.
Primary visual specification
Leaf energy-balance and temperature diagram
Create an academically accurate leaf energy-balance and temperature diagram for the Leaf temperature & energy balance lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.
