Emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds from Western-Canadian Tundra During the Autumn Freeze-up Period.
chercheur principal: Huffman, Bill
Année(s) de permis: 2000
Résumé: It is proposed that about 12 air samples would be collected into 6 liter stainless steel canisters using a small (<10kg) battery powered air sampler. Additionally, a 0.5 cubic meter open-bottom PVC chamber would be placed on the tundra for a period of 4-6 hours. Air would be sampled from the chamber periodically to establish biogenic emmission rates of n-butanol and other volatile organic compo...
