Abstract

Biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted by terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in determining atmospheric constituents that control air quality and climate. These emissions include volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides from soil microorganisms. Considering that the extensive land used for citrus plantations may play an important role in the chemistry of the atmosphere, the objective of this study was to estimate biogenic emissions in the citrus plantations of Jagüey Grande and Ceiba. The GloBEIS model has the appropriate algorithms to make various estimates of emissions of various components, taking as input data meteorological, physiological and land use variables, among others. The main source data are from Institute of Meteorology of Cuba and The Citric Enterprise Jagüey. Approximately 66.25% of the biogenic emissions correspond to Jagüey Grande due to its greater cultivation area. The influence of the leaf area index on the emissions is evidenced. The highest emissions of total monoterpenes and other volatile organic compounds corresponded to the periods of highest temperature in the months of July and August and at 13 h due to the direct influence of this variable on the two emission processes of these species. We found that biogenic emissions for the year 2015 were almost entirely due to the emissions of Organic Volatile Biogenic Compounds (99.1%). The total monoterpenos emissions was (40.45%) and other Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (59.53%). Nitrogen monoxide emissions are influenced by temperature, in this case of the soil, reaching its maximum emission between 12 and 14 h.
