Model leaves were used to test the hypothesis that serrate leaves have more convective heat loss than entire leaves of the same average size. Convection coefficients were positively correlated with size of teeth, supporting the hypothesis. Experimental results were in close agreement with theoretical predictions, which assumed an inverse correlation between depth of serration and effective leaf dimension.
