Emissions of C9 – C16 hydrocarbons from kelp species on Vancouver Island: Alaria marginata (winged kelp) and Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) as an atmospheric source of limonene
In this paper, measurements of C9 – C16 biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the headspaces above near-shore marine vegetation samples of Fucus gardneri (rock weed), Ulva spp. (sea lettuce), Callophyllis spp. (red sea fans), Alaria marginata (winged kelp), and Nereocystis luetkeana (bull k...
