CENTA 2027-B08 Less emission, more aerosol? How elevated CO2 changes organic gas emissions from forests and their capacity to form particles

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Forests emit large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In the atmosphere these are oxidised to form large, oxygenated gases which then form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Read more
