The present paper reviews existing knowledge with regard to Organic Aerosol (OA) of
importance for global climate modelling and defines critical gaps needed to reduce the …

Historical land use and land cover change (referred to herein as “land use change”) has
dramatically altered the Earth's landscape, perturbing energy, moisture, and chemical fluxes …

Woody vegetation in grasslands and savannas has increased worldwide over the past 100–
200 years. This phenomenon of “woody plant encroachment”(WPE) has been documented …

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 …

Water‐limited environments occupy about half of the Earth's land surface and contain some
of the fastest growing population centers in the world. Scarcity or variable distributions of …

Aims To identify approaches to improve our understanding of, and predictive capability for,
mixed tree–grass systems. Elucidation of the interactions, dynamics and determinants, and …

The mechanism uncoupling isoprene emission and photosynthesis under drought was
investigated in Populus alba saplings.• Isoprene emission, incorporation of 13C into the …

The vegetation of semi‐arid and arid landscapes is often comprised of mixtures of
herbaceous and woody vegetation. Since the early 1900s, shifts from herbaceous to woody …

A biogenic emissions scheme has been incorporated in the global dynamic vegetation
model ORCHIDEE (Organizing Carbon and Hydrology in Dynamic EcosystEms) in order to …

About 2.4 Pg (1 Pg= 1015 g) of carbon is emitted annually into the atmosphere as reactive
compounds and most of it is eventually oxidized to CO2. Isoprene, α-pinene, methanol …
