High temperature sensitivity of Arctic isoprene emissions explained by sedges
Abstract It has been widely reported that isoprene emissions from the Arctic ecosystem have a strong temperature response. Here we identify sedges (Carex spp. and Eriophorum spp.) as key contributors to this high sensitivity using plant chamber experiments. We observe that sedges exhibit a markedly...

Abstract It has been widely reported that isoprene emissions from the Arctic ecosystem have a strong temperature response.
