Monoterpene emission data during 2015/2016 El Nino in Manaus, Brazil

Tropical forests absorb large amounts of atmospheric CO2 through photosynthesis, but elevated temperatures suppress this absorption and promote monoterpene emissions. This dataset contains leaf and ecosystem monoterpene emissions and normalized ratios as a function of leaf and canopy temperature during the 2015/6 El Nino in Manaus, Brazil. Also included are 13C-labeled monoterpene data during leaf photosynthesis under 13CO2. Data was used in the publication, "Monoterpene ‘thermometer’ of tropical forest‐atmosphere response to climate warming." See the below Dataset Reference field for the complete publication citation. This dataset was originally published on the NGEE Tropics Archive and is being mirrored on ESS-DIVE for long-term archival Acknowledgement: This material is based upon work supported as part of the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments-Tropics (NGEE-Tropics) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biologicaland Environmental Research through contract No. DEAC0205CH11231 to LBNL, as part of DOE’s TerrestrialEcosystem Science Program.
