abstract = {[ 1] Within the Emission and Chemical Transformation of
Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds ( ECHO) project the
photochemistry of biogenic organic compounds in a forest was
investigated. In this context, two spectroradiometers were
used to determine solar spectral actinic flux and photolysis
frequencies within and above a deciduous forest at Julich,
Germany. Locations in the forest and in a small clearing
were examined 2 m above ground. Under overcast conditions,
photolysis frequencies were within 1 - $3\%$ and 6 - $8\%$
of above canopy values at forest and clearing locations,
respectively. In a spectral range below 500 nm the canopy
was found to act as a gray filter that diminished spectral
actinic flux independent of daytime and wavelength. Under
clear-sky conditions, diurnal variations within the forest
also followed that of diffuse sky radiation above the forest
except for sharp peaks from direct sunlight that was
incident sporadically at the selected locations. The results
under all conditions were in accord with the foliage being
opaque toward UV and gaps in the canopy being responsible
for the remaining actinic flux. Sky photographs showed that
the distribution and size of gaps in the foliage were
extremely heterogeneous with patterns changing rapidly upon
changing location. Regarding daytime chemical reactions of
biogenic compounds within the forest, it was estimated that
degradation by OH was reduced by a factor similar to the
photolysis frequencies, while potential degradation by NO3
was increased by a factor of similar to 3 compared with
above forest conditions. As a result, it was estimated that
minor fractions of $0.8\%$ of isoprene and $3.4\%$ of
monoterpenes were degraded by reactions with OH, NO3, and
O-3 prior to transport into the layer above the forest.},
