This overview compiles the actual knowledge of the biogenic emissions of some volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), ie, isoprene, terpenes, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, esters …

▪ Abstract Very large amounts of isoprene are emitted from vegetation, especially from
mosses, ferns, and trees. This hydrocarbon flux to the atmosphere, roughly equal to the flux …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

There are pressing reasons for developing a better understanding of net primary production
(NPP) in the world's forests. These ecosystems play a large role in the world's carbon …

The magnitudes, distributions, controlling processes and uncertainties associated with North
American natural emissions of oxidant precursors are reviewed. Natural emissions are …

Nonmethane hydrocarbons are ubiquitous trace atmospheric constituents yet they control
the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. Both anthropogenic and biogenic processes …

Two important new findings since the IPCC WGI Second Assessment Report (IPCC,
1996)(hereafter SAR) demonstrate the importance of atmospheric chemistry in controlling …

We present a physiological model of isoprene (2‐methyl‐1, 3‐butadiene) emission which
considers the cost for isoprene synthesis, and the production of reductive equivalents in …

Isoprene is a volatile compound produced in large amounts by some, but not all, plants by
the enzyme isoprene synthase. Plants emit vast quantities of isoprene, with a net global …

A substantial amount of carbon is emitted by terrestrial vegetation as biogenic volatile
organic compounds (VOC), which contributes to the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere, to …
