Short summary
In boreal forest, there is a large number of gaseous organic compounds called biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Within the canopy, they can be emitted from vegetation and soil, react with each other and other gases, be transported in the air, and be removed from vegetation and soil surfaces. We applied a numerical model to simulate these processes and found that these BVOCs can be divided into five categories according to the significance of their sources and sinks.
