This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Desert Plant Heat Equation, folding leaves in the hottest part of the day which lowes surface area exposed to radiation from sun, maximize heat away from body by open growth, minimize radiation to them through parallel orientation of leaves to the sun, Hcd (conduction) (touching objects) need to minimize it, parallel orientation of leaves to the sun which lowes surface area exposed to radiation from sun, Hm (metabolism) (endothermic only) is minimal compared to the environment's effect, parameters that are not part of the Desert Plant Heat Equation include He (evaporation) (loss only), maximize heat away from body by small leaves, small leaves increases surface area to volume ratio, Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind) need to minimize radiation to them, Desert Plant Heat Equation is Hs (Heat stored in body), minimize radiation to them through folding leaves in the hottest part of the day, parameters that are not part of the Desert Plant Heat Equation include Hm (metabolism) (endothermic only), minimize radiation to them through dense white hairs on the plant, Hcd (conduction) (touching objects) +/- (plus or minus) Hcv (convection) (wind / water), Hcv (convection) (wind / water) +/- (plus or minus) Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind), Hs (Heat stored in body) equals = + (only) Hcd (conduction) (touching objects), maximize heat away from body by Raising body form off the ground, minimize it by Raising body form off the ground, Hcv (convection) (wind / water) need to maximize heat away from body
