Ecosystems and the atmosphere: This review describes the state of understanding the
processes involved in the exchange of trace gases and aerosols between the earth's surface …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) produced by plants are involved in plant
growth, reproduction and defense. They are emitted from vegetation into the atmosphere …

Reactive gases and aerosols are produced by terrestrial ecosystems, processed within plant
canopies, and can then be emitted into the above-canopy atmosphere. Estimates of the …

Background Some, but not all, plants emit isoprene. Emission of the related monoterpenes is
more universal among plants, but the amount of isoprene emitted from plants dominates the …

▪ 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 …

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

Plant-generated volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play key roles in large-scale
atmospheric processes and serve the plants as important defense and signal molecules …

Isoprene is synthesized and emitted in large amounts by a number of plant species,
especially oak (Quercus sp.) and aspen (Populus sp.) trees. It has been suggested that …

The capacity for volatile isoprenoid production under standardized environmental conditions
at a certain time (ES, the emission factor) is a key characteristic in constructing isoprenoid …

In recent years evidence has emerged that the amount of isoprene emitted from a leaf is
affected by the CO 2 growth environment. Many–though not all–laboratory experiments …
