People in general have always assumed that the temperature of |
|
|
a leaf should be in sync with the temperature of the surrounding air. |
|
|
However, it’s amazing that burning temperatures seldom turn the |
|
|
leaves on the tree into flames. According to a study published in a |
|
|
5 |
famous science journal, Nature, this can be accounted for by the fact |
|
that as a result of evolution, leaves tend to maintain at a |
|
|
comfortable, climate-conditioned 21 degrees Celsius. For instance, |
|
|
plants from the subtropics, say Kaohsiung, have evolved |
|
|
mechanisms to adjust the temperature of their leaves by angling |
|
|
10 |
themselves away from the sun. On the other hand, plants in mountain |
|
areas (e.g., Mountain Jade), where the weather is often chilly, have |
|
|
developed ways to “heat” their leaves by putting out more leaves per |
|
|
branch to huddle for warmth. After all, what other option does a plant |
|
|
have in an unpleasant environment? It cannot just migrate to a cooler |
|
|
15 |
place. |
