LARGE SUPPLY OF BIOGENIC VOCs – unrecognized until the 1990s Isoprene (biogenic VOC)Anthropogenic VOCs Jacob et al., [1993] Switches polluted areas in U.S. from NO x -saturated to NO x -limited regime! recognized in Revised Clean Air Act of 1999

LATEST INVENTORIES OF BIOGENIC vs. ANTHROPOGENIC VOCs Millet et al. [2007] …notice difference in scale!

Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature: MEGAN [Guenther et al., ACP, 2006]

Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature: MEGAN

F: Emission Flux (  g m -2 hr -1 ) i: gridbox index j: vegetation type index  : Emission Factor (  g m -2 hr -1 ) at standard conditions for each vegetation type  : fractional area coverage of vegetation type  : Activity Factor (accounting for non-standard conditions)  : production/loss within canopy factor HOW EMISSIONS ARE CALCULATED IN MEGAN Guenther et al., 2006

VEGEATION TYPES (PLANT FUNCTIONAL TYPES) CLM landcover

PFT-SPECIFIC EMISSION FACTORS On average, emission from broadleaf trees are 6x higher than needle evergreen, 20x higher than needle deciduous, and 2 orders of magnitude higher than crop emissions! Guenther et al., 2006

BVOC EMISSIONS SCHEME Flux = Emission Factor x Activity Factor (  ) LIGHTTEMPERATURELEAF AGE SOIL MOISTURE ISOPRENE MONTERPENES [Guenther et al., 2006] [Guenther et al., 1995]

ACTIVITY FACTORS: METEOROLOGICAL AND PHENOLOGICAL VARIABLES CONTROLLING EMISSION LIGHT  Diffuse and direct radiation  Instantaneous and accumulated (24 hrs and 10 days) TEMPERATURE (Leaf-level)  instantaneous and accumulated (24 hrs, 10 days) T PAR LL TT SOIL MOISTURE  suppressed under drought AMOUNT OF VEGETATION  Leaf area index (LAI) Month LAI SUMMER LEAF AGE  Max emission = mature  Zero emission = new Guenther et al., 2006

GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF ISOPRENE EMISSIONS Distinct seasonality due to vegetation cover and activity factors Guenther et al., 2006

TOPICS FOR TODAY 1.Why do we care about BVOCs? How are they climate- relevant? 2.What are BVOCs? Why are they emitted? 3.How do we measure BVOC emissions? 4.How do we model BVOC emissions? 5.How well do we understand BVOC emissions? 6.How might BVOC emissions respond to a changing climate?

HOW WELL DO WE KNOW EMISSIONS? How well to we know the rates of compounds we can currently measure? What chemical species don’t we see? Controlling variables? Long-term Controls Chemical Environment Effects of stress Drought Oxidants Herbivory … LOTS YET TO LEARN!

SPRING 2006 TERPENOID EMISSIONS FROM A EUCALYPTUS FOREST NEAR TUMBARUMBA AUSTRALIA Snowstorm We are using the controlled environment of a growth chamber to investigate the processes controlling this behavior Models can predict this but not this A. Guenther

A MISSING FACTOR: ISOPRENE EMISSION INHIBITION BY CO 2 Long-Term growth environment: gene adaptation Dependent on ambient CO 2 Short-term exposure: changes in metabolite pools and enzyme activity Dependent on intercellular CO 2 Empirical parameterization from plant studies: [Wilkinson et al., GCB, in press] LESS Isoprene in a higher CO 2 environment!

TOPICS FOR TODAY 1.Why do we care about BVOCs? How are they climate- relevant? 2.What are BVOCs? Why are they emitted? 3.How do we measure BVOC emissions? 4.How do we model BVOC emissions? 5.How well do we understand BVOC emissions? 6.How might BVOC emissions respond to a changing climate?

HOW WILL BVOC EMISSIONS RESPOND TO A FUTURE CLIMATE? Isoprene emissions projected to increase substantially due to warmer climate and increasing vegetation density. Some/all of this negated by increasing CO 2 concentrations…? NPP ↑ Temperature↑ Heald et al. [2008]

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THESE INCREASING EMISSIONS? NPP ↑ Temperature↑ Surface O 3 ↑ ppb [Sanderson et al., 2003] Methane lifetime increases [Shindell et al., 2007] SOA burden ↑ > 20% [Heald et al., 2008]

ADDITIONAL COMPLICATION: CHANGING VEGETATION CLM DGVM projects a 3x increase in LAI and a northward expansion of vegetation. [Alo and Wang, 2008; Heald et al., in press] Greener biosphere? Shift in vegetation northwards? Changing plant species?
