Many VOCs are reactive in the atmosphere, may produce secondary organic aerosol (SOA), and keep photochemical ozone concentrations high by VOC-involved reactions. Accumulated studies have shown the importance of terrestrial ecosystems which can be sinks and sources of VOCs. The research progress in the exchange of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere was reviewed in this paper. Representative VOCs emitted from terrestrial ecosystems are low-molecular-weight oxygenated VOCs including methanol, acetone, formic and acetic acids, and terpenoids, including isoprene and monoterpenes. Terpenoid emissions have been intensively investigated from the leaf to the canopy level using advanced analytical systems, including proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry. Environmental factors, including temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide and ozone concentrations, and water stress have been reported to affect terpenoid emissions from plants. The combined effects of these environments influence terpenoid emission additively or interactively, and are important in terms of VOC emission estimates against ongoing climate change. Isoprene is most abundantly released into the atmosphere among VOCs; the potential reasons why some plants release such large amounts of carbon as isoprene were summarized in this study. Among oxygenated VOCs, some compounds, including isoprene oxygenates methacrolein and methyl vinyl ketone, are bidirectionally exchanged, and both atmospheric chemical reactions and reactions under oxidative stress in leaves have been regarded as involved in bidirectional VOC exchanges. Bottom-up process-based models and top-down inverse models have been developed to estimate global and local terpenoid emissions. To validate the accuracy and precision of the models, the collection of additional in-situ ground truth data, such as long-term flux measurement data, at various sites is required. Otherwise, these models may still leave large uncertainties compared with CO2 flux models that can be validated with a large number of ground truth flux data.
