Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds and Climate Change 1st Edition

Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds and Climate Change — 1st Edition by Federico Brilli and Stefano Decesari

Capture the cutting edge of atmospheric science with this authoritative exploration of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and their role in a changing climate. Clear, compelling, and richly informed, this volume bridges ecology, atmospheric chemistry, and climate modeling to reveal how living organisms shape air quality and climate dynamics across the globe.

Delve into how BVOCs—from forests in the Mediterranean and boreal zones to tropical rainforests in the Amazon and Southeast Asia—interact with aerosols, cloud formation, and greenhouse processes. Written for researchers, graduate students, environmental policymakers, and applied practitioners, the book synthesizes field observations, laboratory insights, and modeling approaches to illuminate complex biosphere–atmosphere feedbacks.

Why this book matters: it equips readers with practical frameworks to interpret BVOC emissions, assess regional and global climate impacts, and integrate biological emissions into mitigation and adaptation strategies. The expert authors present accessible explanations alongside rigorous science, making it an essential reference for anyone working on climate change, air quality, forestry, agriculture, or environmental policy.

Whether you’re studying regional emissions in Europe or planning climate-resilient land management in North America, this 1st Edition delivers the clarity and depth needed to inform research and decision-making. Enhance your library with a definitive resource that connects biology to the atmosphere and climate. Order your copy today to stay at the forefront of BVOC and climate science.
