The BEMA-Project. Diurnal and Seasonal Course of Monoterpene Emissions by Quercus olex I. under Natural Conditions. Application of Light and Temperature Algorithms.
Quercus ilex is a common oak species in the Mediterranean vegetation and a strong emitter of monoterpenes. Since the short-term control of monoterpene emissions from this specie involved both temperature and light the ususal esponential function of temperature may not be sufficient to model the diurnal and seasonal emission course. In the frame of the BEMA-project (Biogenic Emissions in the Mediterranean Area) we investigated the tree-to-tree, branch-to-branch, diurnal and seasonal variability of monoterpene emissions from Q. ilex over one and a half year at Castelporziano (Rome, Italy).
