abstract = {This paper reports the fluxes and mixing ratios of
biogenically emitted volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) 4 m
above a mixed oak and hornbeam forest in northern Italy.
Fluxes of methanol, acetaldehyde, isoprene, methyl vinyl
ketone + methacrolein, methyl ethyl ketone and monoterpenes
were obtained using both a proton transfer reaction-mass
spectrometer (PTR-MS) and a proton transfer reaction-time of
flight-mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS) together with the
methods of virtual disjunct eddy covariance (PTR-MS) and
eddy covariance (PTR-ToF-MS). Isoprene was the dominant
emitted compound with a mean day-time flux of 1.9 mg m-2
h-1. Mixing ratios, recorded 4 m above the canopy, were
dominated by methanol with a mean value of 6.2 ppbv over the
28 day measurement period. Comparison of isoprene fluxes
calculated using the PTR-MS and PTR-ToF-MS showed very good
agreement while comparison of the monoterpene fluxes
suggested a slight over estimation of the flux by the
PTR-MS. A basal isoprene emission rate for the forest of 1.7
mg m-2 h-1 was calculated using the MEGAN isoprene emissions
algorithms (Guenther et al., 2006). A detailed tree species
distribution map for the site enabled the leaf-level
emissions of isoprene and monoterpenes recorded using GC-MS
to be scaled up to produce a "bottom-up" canopy-scale flux.
This was compared with the "top-down" canopy-scale flux
obtained by measurements. For monoterpenes, the two
estimates were closely correlated and this correlation
improved when the plant species composition in the
individual flux footprint was taken into account. However,
the bottom-up approach significantly underestimated the
isoprene flux, compared with the top-down measurements,
suggesting that the leaf-level measurements were not
representative of actual emission rates.},
