Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds in Amazonian Forest Ecosystems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interactions Between Biosphere, Atmosphere and Human Land Use in the Amazon Basin

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 227))

Abstract

Plants produce and emit a large array of volatile metabolites termed biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) as an integral part of primary and secondary metabolism. Although well studied for their impacts on atmospheric processes, there is much to learn about their biological functions. It is now recognised that many cellular processes leave unique volatile fingerprints behind that can be studied through the acquisition of BVOC profiles in the headspace atmospheres of plants across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales from leaves, whole organisms, ecosystems, and regions and from seconds to seasons. In this chapter, in-plant BVOC production and potential functional roles in the Amazon basin are discussed. The chapter closes with some suggested future research on Amazonian BVOCs, specifically—detailed studies on the identities, fluxes, and environmental dependencies of BVOC emissions including the characterisation of potential bidirectional exchange.
