Thermal measurements on sub-Antarctic megaherbs and environmental characteristics on Campbell Island in 2010, supplement to: Little, Lorna; Eidesen, Pernille Bronken; Müller, Eike; Dickinson, Katherine JM; Lord, Janice M (2016): Leaf and floral heating in cold climates: do subantarctic megaherbs resemble tropical alpine giants? Polar Research, 35, 26030

We evaluated whether heating occurs in sub-Antarctic megaherbs, and the relation of heating to relevant environmental variables. We measured leaf and inflorescence temperature in six sub-Antarctic megaherb species on Campbell Island, latitude 52.3°S, New Zealand Biological Region. Using thermal imag...

Description
Summary:We evaluated whether heating occurs in sub-Antarctic megaherbs, and the relation of heating to relevant environmental variables. We measured leaf and inflorescence temperature in six sub-Antarctic megaherb species on Campbell Island, latitude 52.3°S, New Zealand Biological Region. Using thermal imaging camera (Fluke TI20, http://www.fluke.com/fluke/caen/support/software/ti-update) and thermal probe (Fluke 51 II digital thermal probe), in combination with measurement of solar radiation, ambient air temperature, wind speed, wind chill and humidity.
