The standard Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC) emissions from ten Japanese plant species were measured by using a growth chamber where temperature and light intensity can be controlled. These species were selected due to their abundance in the estimated domain of the Kinki region. The BVOC emissions in Kinki region during July 2002 were estimated by revising the standard BVOC emissions from temperature and light intensity which were calculated by MM5. The two types of the ozone calculation were carried out by CMAQ. One was the calculation with BVOC emissions (BIO). Another was the calculation that assumes BVOC emissions to be zero (NOBIO). The maximum ozone concentrations of BIO reasonably reproduced the observed maximum concentrations in especially the fine days. The hourly differences of monthly average ozone concentrations between BIO and NOBIO had the maximum value of 6ppb at 2 p.m. The explicit difference appeared in urban area, though the place where the maximum of difference occurred changed. It was shown that the BVOC emitted from the forest area strongly affected the ozone generation in the urban area.

“…Although isoprenes and oxygenated compounds are of importance among the BVOCs in addition to terpenes, monoterpenes and isoprenes are the major compounds that contribute to substantial emission levels to the atmosphere (Guenther 2006, Peñuelas and Staudt 2010, Pokorska et al 2012, Aydin et al 2014. It has been reported that monoterpenes are mostly emitted by coniferous species while broad-leaved trees mainly emit isoprenes (Zimmerman 1979, Warneck 1988, Bao et al 2008.…”

“…In Asia, Klinger et al (2002) estimate VOC emissions throughout China using forest and emission inventory data acquired from seven different regions of China. In addition, Bao et al (2008) mapped areas with potential BVOC emissions at the Kinki region in Japan using BVOC emission data from ten major plant species. Overall, these worldwide studies emphasize importance of comprehensive understanding of BVOC emissions because they vary depending on multifaceted factors, such as climate, location, as well as ecological succession.…”

Characteristics and distribution of terpenes in South Korean forests

et al. 2017

The importance of forests continues to increase throughout the world, and one of the reasons is that a forest is a major place to emit terpenes, which have been reported to be beneficial to human health. In South Korea, forests occupy about 64% of the total land area and consist mainly of pine and oak trees. Since only a limited number of forests have been analyzed to date, a comprehensive understanding of terpenes emitted from regional forests remains in its infancy in Korea. Here, to gain insights into terpenes from regional forests located in South Korea, we review the characteristics of Korean forests and recent studies on major terpenes emitted from regional forests as well as from native trees dominant in South Korea. We also discuss meteorological factors that affect the terpene emissions in Korean forests. In conclusion, 18 types of terpenes were detected in Korean forests and their compositions in different forests are largely dependent on the dominant plant species in the forest. Moreover, terpene emissions in Korean forests are affected by various environmental factors, including temperature, amount and duration of daylight, season, and age of trees. To improve the understanding of the characteristics of terpene distribution, more studies are required on the terpene production of Korean forests in various regions.

Factors affecting monoterpene emission from Chamaecyparis obtusa

et al. 2011

Monoterpenes are major compounds emitted by plants and contribute to the formation of photochemical oxidants and secondary organic aerosols in the troposphere. We measured monoterpene emissions from Chamaecyparis obtusa, a major coniferous tree species in Japan, in both the field and the laboratory. Short-term monoterpene emission from C. obtusa was typically dependent on temperature but barely dependent on light intensity. We calculated the basal emission rate E s assuming β = 0.09 in the G93 model. Three individual trees showed similar, but large seasonal variations in E s ; e.g., 0.21-5.42 µg g DW -1 h -1 for a tree showing the highest emission rate. The emission rate was much higher in winter and autumn. Although E s values averaged over 4 seasons indicated that C. obtusa is an intermediate emitter among coniferous trees, our results suggest that the large seasonal variation in E s should be considered in estimating annual monoterpene emission from this species. Furthermore, we found a significant effect of branch-to-branch touching by vibration on monoterpene emission from this species, suggesting that wind effect should be considered in the future for more precise emission estimation.
