CAREER: Biogenic Hydrocarbons from Grasslands - Flux Measurements and Education Outreach

本项目正在调查牧草和农田中生物挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的季节通量。生物来源的VOCs很重要，因为它们可以对对流层化学和大气中光化学氧化剂的形成产生重大影响。该计划的教育部分包括与五所当地高中合作的外展部分，用于收集和分析叶水平的样本，用于对南达科他州黑山周围地区的季节性和地区性VOC排放进行详细的估计。

This project is investigating the seasonal fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from grass and agricultural lands. Biogenic VOCs are important because they can have a significant influence on tropospheric chemistry and the formation of photochemical oxidants in the atmosphere. The educational component of the program includes an outreach component in association with five local high schools for the collection and analysis of leaf-level samples for use in making detailed seasonal and regional biogenic VOC emissions estimates for the area surrounding the Black Hills in South Dakota.
