Abstract  

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are produced by and emitted from plants play key roles in several aspects of tropo-spheric chemistry, including ozone dynamics, carbon monoxide production, and methane oxidation. Isoprene and monoterpene, the two most abundant and best studied VOCs, are introduced in this article. Isoprene emission is strongly dependent on light and temperature and has large variations in different species, while monoterpene emission is usually independent of light. Methanol and other compounds are also simply mentioned. We also analyze the relationship between the emission of VOCs and global change.
