Hmm.

Right? Um, and so what we can do with that information is we can say, "All right, we generally have some ideas of how much we can store on a live oak leaf." So we can keep the leaf storage factors as they are.
24:46
But now we can say, "All right, well, what is the water storage and the water uptake dynamics of, say, Pleopeltis, the resurrection fern?" Because that's quite different, I mean, than, than what you're gonna see on what we call the interception patterns in leaves.
25:03
It's going to open up little trichomes underneath, which we can model, we can set up a model for.
25:09
It'll start to, like, suck up water there.
25:12
It'll rehydrate.
25:13
Instead of evaporating like you would see water sitting on a leaf, it'll evaporate over, say, several hours to a day.
