Characteristics of BVOC emissions from a Swedish boreal forest : Using chambers to capture biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from trees and forest floor
Author
Summary, in English
A dynamic soil chamber was used to quantify the BVOC emissions from the forest floor from June to October of 2015. The peak emission was observed in October. Litterfall might be an important source for MT emissions, especially in autumn. Air temperature inside chamber and PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) were the most influential environmental variables affecting MT and SQT emissions. The understorey vegetation coverage and composition and soil moisture also have impact on the BVOC emissions from the forest floor.
