Isoprene is synthesized via the chloroplastic 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate/1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate pathway (MEP/DOXP), and its synthesis is directly ...

New research shows that plants such as oak and poplar trees will emit more of a compound called isoprene as global temperatures climb. Isoprene from plants represents the highest flux of hydrocarbons ...

Why are there so many newly formed aerosol particles in the upper troposphere over tropical regions such as the Amazon? Tropical forests play an important role in global climate regulation; however, ...

Isoprene is a naturally occurring compound that’s produced mainly by plants. Once emitted, it forms tropospheric ozone and secondary organic aerosols, which can have a significant—though poorly ...
