Suppose a plant is receiving 150 units of heat per minute due to solar radiation, and 45 units of heat per minute due to infrared radiation. Sixty units per minute of solar radiation are reflected back by the leaves, and the plant emits 30 units of infrared radiation. It also loses 50 units of heat per minute through evapotranspiration. The temperature of the plant is not changing. Based on this information, we can conclude that the combination of conduction and convection is resulting in a net _of heat by the plant, and that its temperature is currently _ than the ambient temperature.
