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 (using PTR-MS) and eddy covariance (using
PTR-ToF-MS). Isoprene was the dominant emitted compound with
a mean daytime 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 Model of
Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) isoprene
emission algorithms (Guenther et al., 2006). A detailed
tree-species distribution map for the site enabled the
leaf-level emission of isoprene and monoterpenes recorded
using gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (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.},
