Changes in biodiversity impact atmospheric chemistry and climate | ResearchBunny

Abstract

Climate extremes and biodiversity change affect plant emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), influencing biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) formation. The study presents a conceptual framework linking biodiversity to BVOC emissions and BSOA formation, tested via a tree diversity experiment. Results show that BVOC concentrations generally decrease with increasing biodiversity, while BSOA results are mixed. Further research is needed to understand the impacts of biodiversity on BVOC and BSOA.
