Subject: alph-pinene

 

I don't have information on alpha-pinene emission rates for a pine tree,
and photo/phytochemistry is far beyond my ken.

 

Emission rates in general are subject to many variables:

 

Emissions vary with temperature, relative humidity, availability of
photosynthetic carbon (CO2) in atmosphere, and time of day; and by plant
species and by season/phenology (leafing out, blooming, setting fruit,
etc). 

 

Resources one might mine for references:
