This study surveyed isoprene emission from 42 indigenous and exotic tropical trees in subtropic Okinawa, Japan. Of the 42 trees studied, 4 emitted isoprene at a rate in excess of 20μgg−1h−1, and 28 showed the rates of 1–10μgg−1h−1. The remainder emitted less than 1μgg−1h−1. The majority of trees in this study may therefore fall within the lower emitting species. However, species in Moraceae that is indigenous in Okinawa emitted isoprene at relatively higher rates with an average of 14.2μgg−1h−1. The highest emission rate of 107.1μgg−1h−1for Ficus virgata yielded the area basis rate of 47.4nmolm−2s−1, which is almost equivalent to the rate of high emitting species. Furthermore, a linear relationship between light intensity and isoprene emission was noted with Ficus virgata up to 1700μmolm−2s−1. These findings may show the potential importance of subtropical areas as sources of isoprene to the atmosphere.
