Variation of the VOC emission rates of birch species during the growing season
The VOC emission rates of 16 Betula pubescens and 15 Betula pendula trees were measured during the 1997 growing season in southern Finland. Since the monoterpene emission rates of Betula pubescens showed large variations between the tree specimen, these measurements were continued in 2000 with two d...
