Water-Stressed Plants Do not Cool: Leaf Surface Temperature of Living Wall Plants under Drought Stress

Urban green infrastructures offer thermal regulation to mitigate urban heat island effects. To gain a better understanding of the cooling ability of transpiring plants at the leaf level, we developed a method to measure the time series of thermal data with a miniaturized, uncalibrated thermal infrar...
