Abstract
During the growing season, with photosynthesis at its peak, leaf temperatures remain constant over a wide latitudinal range. This is a finding that overturns a common assumption and has various ramifications.
The wood laid down as tree rings is rich in environmental information. The rings provide measures of annual growth.
