There was a Special Issue in the Journal called 'Biologie in unserer Zeit', which rather addresses informed lay people, I would say. Maybe that helps. www.biuz.de/index.php/bi...

I'll try! Thanks for your thoughts on this issue, nonetheless!

I would like to be able to reproducibly measure and compare leaf surface temp between different plants. That might either be within the same image/measurement or between different images on a given day, let's say. Do you have any recommendations for that or experience with smartphone IR cameras? Thx

Thanks for your reply, Barton. My expectation is that we would need to be able to reproducibly resolve temp differences at 1.0 +/- 0.5 K. So, anything that is able to resolve temp differences above 0.1 K would be fine, I guess. The temp range at which we would be working is between 20 and 50 °C.
