Biological and Chemical Diversity of Biogenic Volatile Organic Emissions into the Atmosphere

Table 4

Compilation of studies used to estimate cropland BVOC emission factors for the MEGAN2.1 model [5]. Emission measurement approaches include enclosure (E), canopy micrometeorological (C), and landscape inverse modeling (L) techniques. Compounds include isoprene (Iso), monoterpenes (MT), sesquiterpenes (SQT), and other (Other).
