About this position

Forests emit large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In the atmosphere these are oxidised to form large, oxygenated gases which then form secondary organic aerosol (SOA): tiny particles that scatter sunlight and form cloud droplets. The effect of aerosol on clouds is the largest single source of uncertainty in how much humans have changed the climate. Forest emissions therefore feed back on climate, but we do not know how this feedback will change as atmospheric CO2 rises. Trees respond to high CO2 by changing both how much they emit and what they emit. Isoprene is the most abundan
