Abstract
Substantial errors can be introduced to estimates of leaf resistance (rl) obtained from diffusion porometers unless precautions are taken to reduce the leaf-cup temperature difference (Tleaf — Tcup) to acceptable levels prior to measurement. When Tleaf > Tcup, underestimation of leaf resistance occurs; the reverse applies when Tleaf < Tcup.Keywords
