Leaf water shedding: Moving away from assessments based on static contact angles, and a new device for observing dynamic droplet roll‐off behaviour

Abstract Leaf wettability and drainage characteristics of different taxa are often hypothesised to have emerged as a result of evolutionary selection, perhaps to limit the duration of leaf wetness, or to direct water toward efficiently to the soil and root system, rather than suffering loss to evapo...
