Scott1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (142 p.)Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Description based upon print version of record.3-319-07850-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Introduction -- Model Description -- The Impact of Biogenic SOA on Particle and Cloud Condensation Nuclei Concentration -- The Radiative Impact of Biogenic SOA -- The Impact of Volatility Treatment -- The Radiative Effects of Deforestation -- Conclusions, Implications and Further Work.Forests and vegetation emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) into the atmosphere which, once oxidized, can partition into the particle phase, forming secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). This thesis reports on a unique and comprehensive analysis of the impact of BVOC emissions on atmospheric aerosols and climate. A state-of-the-art global aerosol microphysics model is used to make the first detailed assessment of the impact of BVOC emissions on aerosol microphysical properties, improving our understanding of the role of these emissions in affecting the Earth’s climate.   The thesis also reports on the implications for the climate impact of forests. Accounting for the climate impacts of SOAs, taken together with the carbon cycle and surface albedo effects that have been studied in previous work, increases the total warming effect of global deforestation by roughly 20%.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Atmospheric sciencesClimate changePlant biochemistryAtmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Atmospheric sciences.Climate change.Plant biochemistry.Atmospheric Sciences.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.Plant Biochemistry.363.73874561Scott Catherine Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060966MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299559703321The Biogeochemical Impacts of Forests and the Implications for Climate Change Mitigation2516498UNINA
