Objectives of the project are to investigate the production of biogenic volatile organic carbon compounds (BVOC) in terrestrial ecosystems, and their importance in the carbon cycle-chemistry-cloud-climate system. Currently ongoing activities of the Marie Curie Team include leaf-level and ecosystem flux measurements of BVOC, monitoring of aerosol number/size distribution, and process based modelling activities.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The post-doctoral researcher will contribute to the further development of a novel modelling scheme for terrestrial BVOC emissions and its implementation in the dynamic regional and global vegetation modelling framework LPJ-GUESS.

These experiments will be undertaken on regional and global scale, one major regional focus being the northern high latitudes. The research will include adaptation of LPJ-GUESS for these regions (e.g., implementing northern plant functional types).
