摘要

Atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are involved in ozone andaerosol generation, thus having implications for air quality and climate.VOCs and their emissions by vegetation also have important ecological rolesas they can protect plants from stresses and act as communication cuesbetween plants and between plants and animals. In spite of these keyenvironmental and biological roles, the reports on seasonal and daily VOCmixing ratios in the literature for Mediterranean natural environments arescarce.We conducted seasonal (winter and summer) measurements of VOC mixing ratiosin an elevated (720 m a.s.l.) holm oak Mediterranean forest site near themetropolitan area of Barcelona (NE Iberian Peninsula). Methanol was the mostabundant compound among all the VOCs measured in both seasons. Whilearomatic VOCs showed almost no seasonal variability, short-chain oxygenatedVOCs presented higher mixing ratios in summer, presumably due to greateremission by vegetation and increased photochemistry, both enhanced by thehigh temperatures and solar radiation in summer. Isoprenoid VOCs showed thebiggest seasonal change in mixing ratios: they increased by one order ofmagnitude in summer, as a result of the vegetation's greater physiologicalactivity and emission rates. The maximum diurnal concentrations of ozoneincreased in summer too, most likely due to more intense photochemicalactivity and the higher levels of VOCs in the air.The daily variation of VOC mixing ratios was mainly governed by the windregime of the mountain, as the majority of the VOC species analyzed followeda very similar diel cycle. Mountain and sea breezes that develop aftersunrise advect polluted air masses to the mountain. These polluted airmasses had previously passed over the urban and industrial areas surroundingthe Barcelona metropolitan area, where they were enriched in NOx and inVOCs of biotic and abiotic origin. Moreover, these polluted air massesreceive additional biogenic VOCs emitted in the local valley by thevegetation, thus enhancing O3 formation in this forested site. The onlyVOC species that showed a somewhat different daily pattern were monoterpenesbecause of their local biogenic emission. Isoprene also followed in part thedaily pattern of monoterpenes, but only in summer when its biotic sourceswere stronger. The increase by one order of magnitude in the concentrationsof these volatile isoprenoids highlights the importance of local biogenicsummer emissions in these Mediterranean forested areas which also receivepolluted air masses from nearby or distant anthropic sources.
