Reviews of emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in Asia

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the atmosphere play important roles in the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in global scale and also in regional scale under some condition due to their large amount and relatively higher reactivity. In places with high plant cover in the tropics and in China where air pollution is serious, the effect of BVOCs on ozone and secondary organic aerosols is strong. The present research aims to provide a comprehensive review about the emission rate, emission inventory, research methods, the influencing factors of BVOCs emissions, as well as their impacts on atmospheric environment quality and human health in recent years in Asia based on the summary and analysis of literatures. It is suggested to use field direct measurement method to obtain the emission rate and model method to calculate the emission amount. Several recommendations are given for future investigation and policy development on BVOCs emission.     

短期干旱胁迫对马尾松排放挥发性有机物的影响

为探究干旱环境对BVOCs排放的影响,应用动态封闭式采样系统和热脱附-气相色谱-飞行质谱仪,对短期干旱胁迫作用下马尾松的BVOCs排放进行了实验室测量,定量分析BVOCs排放速率和排放组成的变化.结果表明,干旱胁迫时异戊二烯的排放受到抑制,排放速率降低约50%;单萜烯和倍半萜烯的排放水平增强,排放速率分别为137.85和0.98μg/（m²·h）,是未受胁迫时的2.9和2.0倍.除反式-α-香柠檬烯外,干旱胁迫促进各单萜烯和倍半萜烯化合物的排放,是未受胁迫时的1.3~42.4倍,其中3-蒈烯排放的响应最敏感,α-葑烯、α-水芹烯和石竹烯的响应最弱.干旱胁迫时单萜烯和倍半萜烯的排放组成有所变化,但主导的化合物种类不变,单萜烯以α-蒎烯、香桧烯和β-蒎烯为主,占比分别为48%、17%和17%;倍半萜烯以石竹烯和长叶烯为主,占比分别为57%和34%.     

2000~2020年京津冀BVOCs排放量估算及时空分布特征

Biogenic volatile organic compound emissions from leaves and fruits of apple and peach trees during fruit development

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are widely involved in a variety of atmospheric chemical processes due to their high reactivity and species diversity. To date, however, research on BVOCs in agroecosystems, particularly fruit trees, remains scarce despite their large cultivation area and economic interest. BVOC emissions from different organs (leaf or fruit) of apple and peach trees were investigated throughout the stages of fruit development (FS, fruit swelling; FC, fruit coloration; FM, fruit maturity; and FP, fruit postharvest) using a proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer. Results indicated that methanol was the most abundant compound emitted by the leaf (apple tree leaf 492.5 ± 47.9 ng/(g·hr), peach tree leaf 938.8 ±  154.5 ng/(g·hr)), followed by acetic acid and green leaf volatiles. Beside the above three compounds, acetaldehyde had an important contribution to the emissions from the fruit. Overall, the total BVOCs (sum of eight compounds studied in this paper) emitted by both leaf and fruit gradually decreased along the fruit development, although the effect was significant only for the leaf. The leaf (2020.8 ±  258.8 ng/(g·hr)) was a stronger BVOC emitter than the fruit (146.0 ± 45.7 ng/(g·hr)) (P = 0.006), and there were no significant differences in total BVOC emission rates between apple and peach trees. These findings contribute to our understanding on BVOC emissions from different plant organs and provide important insights into the variation of BVOC emissions across different fruit developmental stages.     

O3浓度升高对银杏及油松BVOCs排放的影响

以生长在沈阳市区内的银杏及油松为试材,开顶式熏气室模拟升高O₃浓度（80 nmol·mol^-1）和正常大气O₃浓度（≈30 nmol·mol^-1）条件,采用GC-FID技术对银杏及油松的异戊二烯和7种单萜类物质的排放速率进行测定,探讨高浓度O₃对单株银杏及油松挥发性有机物排放规律的影响.结果表明,O₃浓度增高可以显著提高银杏和油松的异戊二烯排放速率（p＜0.05）,及银杏Δ3-蒈烯的排放速率（p＜0.05）,其分别达到1.96、 9.71和0.09 μg·(g·h)^-1,而对于其他单萜物质的排放速率,2种树木对高浓度的O₃熏蒸均没有表现出显著的变化;树种不同,排放的BVOCs组成也不同,自然条件下银杏排放的BVOCs以异戊二烯为主,而油松以α-蒎烯为主;高浓度O₃熏蒸下油松释放的异戊二烯达到其BVOCs组成的64.73%,增加大气O₃浓度改变了树木挥发性有机物的组成比例.因此,O₃浓度升高对银杏及油松BVOCs排放规律具有显著影响.

基于遥感解译植被,结合WRF气象场模拟,利用MEGAN模型估算了2014年长三角地区天然源VOCs（BVOCs）排放清单,分析其化学组成及时空分布特征.结果表明,2014年长三角江浙沪皖三省一市BVOCs排放总量为188.6万t,其中异戊二烯70.42万t（37.3%）,单萜烯30.3万t（16.1%）,其他VOCs为87.88万t（46.6%）.BVOCs季节变化十分显著,夏季最高,冬季最低;夏季排放占年排放量的60.9%（108.8万t）,冬季仅占3.2%（5.7万t）.受植被覆盖影响,BVOCs排放存在空间分布差异,南高北低,浙江、安徽、江苏和上海市的BVOCs排放量依次为84.2万t（44.6%）、76万t（40.3%）、27.2万t（14.4%）和1.2万t（0.7%）,这主要与植被类型分布有关.     

植物挥发性有机物的作用与释放影响因素研究进展

植物释放的挥发性有机物属于植物次生代谢物质,对环境和人类生存具有正反两方面的作用。一方面,它们具有杀菌抑菌、保健等功能;另一方面,它们还参与对流层大气化学过程,对全球气候变化、碳循环和人类健康等有潜在的负面影响。综述了植物挥发性有机物(BVOCs)的作用、影响BVOCs释放的因素及还有待扩展和深入研究的方面,并对今后的研究进行了展望。结果表明:1)植物挥发性有机物对环境和人类健康有正反两方面的作用,目前大部分研究集中于杀菌抑菌等正面效应,而针对植物VOCs的负面效应研究较少;2)影响植物VOCs释放的因素包括内部因素(树种差异、生理因素、N素)和外部因素(光照、温度、湿度、CO2、臭氧和胁迫),目前研究多集中于单一因素;3)今后应加强植物VOCs释放机理的研究,分析其他因素或几种因素相互作用对植物释放VOCs的影响;建立和完善理论模型,用以模拟各种植物VOCs排放的时空动态,更好地预测全球气候变化。     

北方常见绿化树种BVOCs排放特征及其与光合作用参数的相关性

为了解北方常见绿化树种植物源挥发性有机化合物(biogenic volatile organic compounds,BVOCs)的排放特征及其与光合作用参数(净光合速率P_n、气孔导度g_s、胞间CO_2浓度c_i、蒸腾速率T_r)的相关性,本实验采用动态采样装置收集14种落叶乔木BVOCs排放数据.结果表明,不同科属间异戊二烯和总BVOCs(异戊二烯、单萜和倍半萜烯之和)释放速率差异显著(P0.01).除金银木和榆树,其他绿化树种均释放异戊二烯、单萜和倍半萜烯类物质,其中杨柳科(杂交杨‘546’、速生杨‘107’、小叶杨、垂柳)和豆科植物(国槐、刺槐、龙爪槐)排放异戊二烯较多,释放速率在(30.1±4.3)～(91.8±10.0)μg·(g·h)~(-1)之间;木犀科(白蜡、丁香)、蔷薇科海棠、无患子科栾树和槭树科元宝枫主要排放单萜和倍半萜烯,其中白蜡和元宝枫单萜释放速率最高,分别为(10.6±4.8)μg·(g·h)~(-1)和(11.8±6.4)μg·(g·h)~(-1).罗勒烯和β-蒎烯是绿化树种排放的两种主要单萜物质.P_n和g_s与BVOCs释放速率之间无显著相关性,但杨柳科植物异戊二烯(r=0.681,P0.01)和总BVOCs(r=0.698,P0.01)释放速率与叶片T_r呈显著正相关,而豆科植物的总BVOCs释放速率与c_i呈显著正相关(P=0.04).本研究为城市绿化树种的筛选和配置提供科学参考,也为BVOCs释放机制的研究提供理论依据.     

臭氧浓度升高对植物源挥发性有机化合物(BVOCs)影响的研究进展

伴随地表臭氧(O_3)浓度在全球范围内的普遍上升,针对植物源挥发性有机化合物(biogenic volatile organic compounds,BVOCs)与地表O_3之间复杂的交互作用,本文综述了O_3浓度升高对BVOCs影响方面取得的研究进展,并对未来研究提出了展望.研究进展主要包括BVOCs应对单因子O_3胁迫的影响因素(如BVOCs种类,植物功能类型,植物O_3敏感性及O_3胁迫程度),以及O_3分别与升温/二氧化碳(CO_2)/干旱/氮(N)沉降等因子复合对BVOCs释放的影响.虽然O_3胁迫不影响BVOCs释放的研究最多,但O_3胁迫的降低作用在异戊二烯和落叶树种的研究中更突出,增加的结果更多地出现在单萜(MTs)、常绿植物和急性熏蒸的实验里. O_3与升温/N沉降复合处理增加MTs释放,O_3与CO_2复合处理降低了异戊二烯释放.鉴于研究样本的稀缺,建议加强该领域研究,同时要考虑短期和长期处理、个体和生态系统水平研究的差异;加强以O_3为主的多因子复合及生物与非生物多重胁迫对BVOCs影响的研究,以便更好评估陆地生态系统BVOCs对当前及未来O_3污染情景的响应,为今后大气污染防治提供有价值的理论支撑.     

Biogenic volatile organic compound emission patterns and secondary pollutant formation potentials of dominant greening trees in Chengdu, southwest China

Integral to the urban ecosystem, greening trees provide many ecological benefits, but the active biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) they release contribute to the production of ozone and secondary organic aerosols, which harm ambient air quality. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the BVOC emission characteristics of dominant greening tree species and their relative contribution to secondary pollutants in various urban contexts. Consequently, this study utilized a dynamic enclosure system to collect BVOC samples of seven dominant greening tree species in urban Chengdu, Southwest China. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to analyze the BVOC components and standardized BVOC emission rates of each tree species were then calculated to assess their relative potential to form secondary pollutants. We found obvious differences in the composition of BVOCs emitted by each species. Ficus virens displayed a high isoprene emission rate at 31.472 μgC/(gdw (g dry weight)•hr), while Cinnamomum camphora emitted high volumes of D-Limonene at 93.574 μgC/(gdw•hr). In terms of the BVOC emission rates by leaf area, C. camphora had the highest emission rate of total BVOCs at 13,782.59 μgC/(m²•hr), followed by Cedrus deodara with 5466.86 μgC/(m²•hr). Ginkgo biloba and Osmanthus fragrans mainly emitted oxygenated VOCs with lower overall emission rates. The high BVOC emitters like F. virens, C. camphora, and Magnolia grandiflora have high potential for significantly contributing to environmental secondary pollutants, so should be cautiously considered for future planting. This study provides important implications for improving urban greening efforts for subtropical Chinese urban contexts, like Chengdu.
