Tropical, temperate, and boreal forests are critical components of the climate system, and
the ecosystem services they provide are essential for our society (Bona n et al., 1992, Bonan …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play important roles at cellular, foliar,
ecosystem and atmospheric levels. The Amazonian rainforest represents one of the major …

The climate effects of atmospheric aerosol particles serving as cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN) depend on chemical composition and hygroscopicity, which are highly variable on …

Biomass burning (BB) aerosols can influence regional and global climate through
interactions with radiation, clouds, and precipitation. Here, we investigate the impact of BB …

Abstract Soils in the Amazon Basin are deficient in phosphorus, essential to soil fertility.
Previous studies suggested that African mineral dust deposited to Amazonian soils served …

Smoke from vegetation fires affects air quality, atmospheric cycling, and the climate in the
Amazon rain forest. A major unknown has remained the quantity of long-range transported …

Black carbon (BC) aerosols influence the Earth's atmosphere and climate, but their
microphysical properties, spatiotemporal distribution, and long-range transport are not well …

Interactions between atmospheric aerosols, clouds, and precipitation impact Earth's
radiative balance and air quality, yet remain poorly constrained. Precipitating clouds serve …

New particle formation (NPF), referring to the nucleation of molecular clusters and their
subsequent growth into the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) size range, is a globally …

The aerosol radiative effect is an important source of uncertainty in estimating the
anthropogenic impact of global climate change. One of the main open questions is the role …
