‘Missing volatile organic compounds’ and their atmospheric impacts in the changing Arctic
The Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the world due to climate change. One of its consequences is the anticipated increasing concentrations of ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants, resulting from ongoing ecosystem transition (‘greening’ or vegetation shifts). This proj...
