| Session Description | Atmopheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs; e.g., CO2, CH4, N2O) have continued to rise globally due to a net increase emission from the earth’s surface. In addition, to the GHGs there are large number of biologically produced species (non-CH4 hydrocarbons, methyl halides, bromoform etc.) that affect the composition and chemistry of the earth’s atmosphere. We welcome contributions on measurements and modelling of concentrations, emissions and sinks of all the biogenically active species in the earth’s environment. |
