The experiments were carried out in plants grown under different water regimes that generated a wide range of foliar hydration and terpene contents. We monitored the temperatures and time elapsed to reach the smoke, pyrolysis and flame phases. Smoke appeared much earlier (37 versus 101 s) and at lower temperatures (96 versus 139 °C) in Quercus ilex than in Pinus halepensis. Quercus ilex reached pyrolysis earlier than Pinus halepensis (278 versus 338 s) but at the same temperature (365–371 °C). There were no significant differences in time elapsed nor in temperature for flammability (386–422 s; 505–487 °C in both species). Quercus ilex had lower water hydration than Pinus halepensis (41 versus 100%) and the leaf content of terpenes in Quercus was three orders of magnitude lower. The results of this study show no differences in the flame phase between the two species and the absence of a significant relationship between temperature and elapsed time of the different flammability phases in relation to monoterpene content; thus indicating that the role of monoterpenes in flammability phases is smaller than that of the water content. This, however, does not exclude the effects of terpene content on plant combustibility and fire propagation once fires start.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessio, G.

We studied flammability, its seasonality and its relationship with leaf moisture and volatile terpene content and emission in the dominant species of a Mediterranean shrubland and forest in Catalonia ( NE Iberian Peninsula). We measured temperatures and time elapsed between the three flammability phases: smoke, pyrolysis and flame, for four seasons. We sampled twice in spring because of an occasional drought period during this season. Flammability had a significant relationship with leaf hydration, in the shrubland and in the forest. Few and only weak correlations were found between terpene content and flammability. In the future, arid conditions projected by climatic and ecophysiological models will increase fire risk through decreased hydration and subsequent increased flammability of the species.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: 150 OXFORD ST, PO BOX 1139, COLLINGWOOD, VICTORIA 3066, AUSTRALIA&lt;br/&gt;publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessio, G.

Fire is often associated with episodes of air pollution, possibly involving the release of biogenic isoprenoids (isoprene and monoterpenes). The direct and indirect impacts of ﬁre on isoprenoid emission by plants of the Mediterranean vegetation were studied. Leaves of Arbutus unedo, Phillyrea latifolia, Cistus incanus, Cistus mospeliensis, Pistacia lentiscus, Quercus ilex, Quercus suber, Quercus pubescens, Myrtus communis and Pinus halepensis were exposed to direct ﬁre or to the ﬁre-consequent wave of elevated temperature. 2. Half the tested plant species did not emit isoprenoids and the treatments did not induce isoprenoid emission. In contrast, isoprene was emitted by intact leaves of Q. pubescens and M. communis, while monoterpenes were emitted by intact leaves of Q. ilex, Q. suber and P. halepensis. 3. The two treatments rapidly reduced isoprene emission by isoprene-emitting species and monoterpene emission by Quercus spp. This inhibition was associated with photosynthetic inhibition, and recovery was seen in Quercus spp. within days of treatment. Recovery was also associated with the recovery of photosynthesis, suggesting that emitted isoprenoids continue to be formed predominantly from photosynthetic intermediates after a ﬁre episode. 4. In Q. pubescens leaves, however, recovery from the elevated-temperature treatment caused a sustained increase of isoprene emission which was not mirrored by a similar increase in photosynthesis. Whether this represents the induction of alternative metabolic pathways or an increase of the ﬂux of photosynthetic carbon in the isoprene pathway is not known. Isoprene-emitting species in areas surrounding ﬁre may emit a substantially larger hydrocarbon ﬂux for several days after ﬁre. 5. The elevated-temperature treatment induced the emission of α-pinene from Myrtus leaves, and the ﬁre treatment stimulated the emission of several monoterpenes from Pinus needles. The emission began to decrease within minutes in Myrtus, while it increased within the ﬁrst 100 min in Pinus, where it was detectable the day after the event although the ﬂux was smaller than in prestressed needles. 6. Exposure to ﬁre and to the associated elevated temperature may induce bursts of monoterpenes from plants that regularly do not emit these compounds and temporarily increase the load of monoterpenes in the atmosphere by pine species. These emissions may contribute to photochemical reactions involved in smog and ozone formation</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
