Short summary
We implement secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation pathways due to peroxy radical (RO2) isomerization and accretion reactions in the CESM2 model. The contribution of RO2 pathways to SOA formation varies from the past to the future; for monoterpenes RO2, isomerization remains important under all climate conditions. We also quantify changes in total biogenic SOA burden under different climates. Our study highlights the need to better represent RO2 chemistry in SOA modeling.
