A review article by Riikka Rinnan: Volatile Organic Compound Emissions in the Changing Arctic | Annual Reviews - go.shr.lc/3X1j8QX

New in @sciencemagazine. Plant volatiles can mediate plant-plant interaction. After releasing to atmosphere, they can also form aerosol particles via oxidative chemical reactions. Do the plant-derived aerosols inherit the ecological function of their parent VOCs?

#Peatlands cover 3% of Earth's land but store twice as much carbon as forests But some 15% of these unique ecosystems have been drained for agriculture, forestry & urban development. This causes: ⬇️subsidence 🔥fire risk 🌡️increased greenhouse gas emissions Via UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP)

Study with Michael Giolai out now in Science Magazine 🥳🥳! We find evidence for a trade-off between investment in molecular defense repertoires and growth in wild plants but not in agricultural plants science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… European Research Council (ERC) Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland Swiss National Science Foundation Research Centre For Ecological Change

My review on volatile compounds in Arctic ecosystems was just published in Annual Reviews. It's a must-read if you're curious about why tundra plants smell strongly on sunny days & which gases besides CO2 and methane are released from thawing permafrost. go.shr.lc/3X1j8QX
