BIOGENIC VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS IN A TEMPERATURE FOREST AND A BAMBOO FOREST IN CHINA

摘要

Emission fluxes of Biogenic Volatile Organic compounds (BVOC), solar radiation (including global radiation, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), etc.), meteorological parameters were carried out in Changbai temperature forest during growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 and Linan subtropical bamboo forest from July 2012 to Jan. 2013 in China. A REA (Relaxed Eddy Accumulation) system was used to measure BVOC emissions on an above-canopy tower. Isoprene and monoterpenes showed obvious diurnal and seasonal variations in these two forests, their daily maxima occurred around noon. The average emission fluxes (mg m~(-2) h~(-1)) were 0.889 for isoprene and 0.143 for monoterpene in Changbai temperate forest in 2011 growing season, 0.95 for isopreneor and 0.012 for monoterpene in Linan bamboo forest during the whole campaign. Based on PAR energy balance, empirical models of BVOC emissions in these temperate and subtropical forests were developed, the estimated emissions of isoprene and monoterpenes were in agreement with observations. Applying these empirical models, BVOC emissions in Changbai temperate forest during growing seasons and in Linan subtropical bamboo forest from July 2012 to Jan. 2013 were calculated. The relationships between surface measurements of BVOC emissions and HCHO vertical column densities retrieved from the satellite were found in these two forests.
