Short summary

The formation of alkyl nitrates in the boreal forest was dominated by reactions of the NO₃ radical with terpenes, both during the day and the night, with fewer contributions from OH and ozone. The alkyl nitrates formed had lifetimes on the order of 2 h, reflecting efficient loss via uptake to aerosol and deposition.
