The inventory incorporates more accurate data on foliar biomass densities from several litterfall databases that became available in the last years for the main tree species in Europe. A bioclimatic correction factor was introduced to correct the foliar biomass densities of trees and crops for the different plant growth conditions that can be found in Pan-Europe. Long-term seasonal variability of agriculture and forest emissions was taken into account by implementing a new growing season concept. The 2004-2005 averaged annual total biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions for the Pan-European domain are estimated to be about 12 Tg with a large contribution from the OVOC class of about 4.5 Tg and from monoterpenes of about 4 Tg. Annual isoprene emissions are found to be about 3.5 Tg, insensitive to the chosen emission algorithm. Emissions of OVOC were found to originate to a large extent from agriculture. Further experiments on crop emissions should be carried out to check the validity of the applied standard emission factors. The new inventory aims at a fully transparent and verifiable aggregation of detailed land use information and at the inclusion of plant-specific emission data. Though plant-specific land use data is available with relatively high accuracy, a lack of experimental biomass densities and emission data on terpenes, sesquiterpenes and oxygenated VOC, in particular for agricultural plants, currently limits the setup of a highly accurate plant-specific emission inventory.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></research-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%">Csiky, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seufert, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terpenoid emissions of Mediterranean oaks and their relation to taxonomy</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">atmospheric chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BEMA (Biogenic Emissions in the Mediterranean Area</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biogenic emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemo-taxonomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">isoprene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean Region</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monoterpenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oak taxonomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oaks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">terpenoid emissions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">trace-gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">volatile organic compounds (VOCs)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ECOLOGICAL SOC AMER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1707 H ST NW, STE 400, WASHINGTON, DC 20006-3915 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1138-1146</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper presents results of a laboratory screening study of biogenic emissions from Mediterranean oak species. The experiment aimed at improving our understanding of oak contributions to overall emissions of volatile organic compounds and to the atmospheric chemistry in the Mediterranean area. We measured type and amount of terpenoid emissions (isoprene, mono- and sesquiterpenes) under standard conditions of light and temperature from 14 different Quercus species of Mediterranean and American origin. Tree saplings were exposed in a controlled environment chamber, and leaf-level trace-gas exchange was analyzed with a minicuvette system and gas chromatography, to study the relation between the emission types and emission spectra found and the taxonomy of Quercus. The holarctic group Lepidobalanus and the North American groups Erythrobalanus and Protobalanus were found to be strong isoprene emitters. The Eurasian oak group Sclerophyllodrys emits monoterpenes; Cerris include mostly non-emitters, but also an isoprene and a monoterpene emitter has been found in this group. Results are discussed with respect to their implications for presently used emission scenarios.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
