Leaf temperature (T-leaf) influences rates of respiration, photosynthesis, and transpiration. The local slope of the relationship between T-leaf and T-air, beta describes leaf thermal responses. A range of values have been observed, with beta < 1 indicating limited homeothermy where T-leaf increases at a lower rate than T-air, beta = 1 indicating poikilothermy where T-leaf tracks T-air, and beta > 1 indicating megathermy where T-leaf increasingly exceeds T-air. However, theory for variation in beta has not been developed. Here we derive an equation for beta that predicts how it varies with multiple trait and microenvironment variables. The approach also predicts how maintenance of T-leaf away from lethally high values may help explain regulation of stomatal conductance (gs). The work delineates contexts in which each class of leaf thermal response is expected and develops concepts for predicting leaf responses to thermally extreme environments.
