Plant-driven volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions play a
major role in atmospheric chemistry, including ozone and
photochemical smog formation in the troposphere, and they extend
the atmospheric lifetime of the key greenhouse gas, methane.
Furthermore, condensation of photo-oxidation products of BVOCs
leads to formation of secondary organic aerosols with profound
implications for the earth's solar radiation budget and climate.
Trees represent the plant life form that most contributes to BVOC
emissions, which gives global forests a unique role in regulating
atmospheric chemistry. Written by leading experts in the field, the
focus is on recent advancements in understanding the controls on
plant-driven BVOC emissions, including efforts to quantitatively
predict emissions using computer models, particularly on
elicitation of emissions under biotic and abiotic stresses,
molecular mechanisms of volatile synthesis and emission and the
role of emissions in plant stress tolerance.
