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

该项目正在调查来自草地和农田的生物源性挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）的季节性通量。生物源性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，收集和分析叶片水平样本，用于对南达科他州布莱克山周围地区进行详细的季节性和区域性生物挥发性有机化合物排放估算。

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.
