Plant physiological and environmental controls over the exchange of acetaldehyde between forest canopies and the atmosphere

We quantified fine scale sources and sinks of gas phase acetaldehyde in two forested ecosystems in the US. During the daytime, the upper canopy behaved as a net source while at lower heights, reduced emission rates or net uptake were observed. At night, uptake generally predominated throughout the c...
