Consider a leaf at constant temperature with a net radiation load (sum of all forms of radiation: shortwave & longwave) of 1000 Wm-2 and a convective heat loss of 350 W m-2. Conductive heat transfer is not involved in this leaf's energy balance. What is this leaf's latent heat loss in W m-2? My notes say that:If temperature is constant, then Energy gain = Energy loss
