Finnish Meteorological Institute Contributions No. 72 Development of Biogenic Voc Emission Inventories for the Boreal Forest
The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by vegetation, especially forests, can affect local and regional atmospheric photochemistry through their reactions with atmospheric oxidants. Their reaction products may also participate in the formation and growth of new particles which affect the radiation balance of the atmosphere, and thus climate, by scattering and absorbing shortwave and long...
متن کاملBiogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from forests in Finland
We present model estimates of biogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the forests in Finland. The emissions were calculated for the years 1995–1997 using the measured isoprene and monoterpene emission factors of boreal tree species together with detailed satellite land cover information and meteorological data. The three-year average emission is 319 kilotonnes per annum, which i...
متن کاملDay-time concentrations of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a boreal forest canopy and their relation to environmental and biological factors
Atmospheric concentrations of methanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, isoprene and monoterpenes were measured using PTR-MS (proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry) in a boreal forest site in Hyytiälä, Finland (6151 N, 2417 E). The concentration measurements were made in the upper canopy of a Scots pine forest during 6 June, 2006–31 August, 2007. Meteorological variables such as temperature and pho...
متن کاملA Critical Evaluation of Fire Suppression Effects in the Boreal Forest of Ontario
Although fire suppression is widely believed to have changed the “natural” fire regime in the boreal forest, empirical evidence for this effect is limited and usually involves a comparison of fire sizes, average annual area burned, and fire cycle between areas with and without fire suppression. We critically evaluate this empirical evidence and discuss problems with untested assumptions, data q...
متن کاملCarbon, Trace Gas, and Particulate Emissions from Wildfires in the Boreal Regions of North America
Large wildfires have a considerable impact on the atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CO, O3, NOx, and CH4 across North America. Carbon releases can be as high as 4 to 8 kg C-m per fire event. These emissions significantly affect concentrations far downwind. With funding from NASA, the Joint Fire Science Program, NSF, and the Canadian Government, US and Canadian researchers have been developing ...
