Short summary
Critical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were monitored in a temperate deciduous forest in the Midwestern US using Proton Transfer Reaction Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer. The forests contained diverse biogenic sources and were influenced by short- and long-range transport of anthropogenic emissions. Extreme heat and wildfire events increased VOC concentrations during the study, offering crucial insights into emission dynamics and their potential impacts on future climate scenarios.
