Development of a portable leaf photosynthesis and volatile organic compounds em...
Jardine, Kolby J.; Zorzanelli, Raquel F.; Gimenez, Bruno Oliva; Robles, Emily; Oliveira Piva, Luani Rosa deUnderstanding how plant carbon metabolism responds to environmental variables such as light is central to understanding ecosystem carbon cycling and the production of food, biofuels, and biomaterials. Here, we couple a portable leaf photosynthesis system to an autosampler for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to enable field observations of net photosynthesis simultaneously with emissions of VOCs as a function ...
Integration of C1 and C2 metabolism in trees
Jardine, Kolby J.; Souza, Vinícius Fernandes de; Oikawa, Patricia Yoshino; Higuchi, Niro; Bill, Markus; Porras, Rachel C.; Niinemets, ÜloC1 metabolism in plants is known to be involved in photorespiration, nitrogen and amino acid metabolism, as well as methylation and biosynthesis of metabolites and biopolymers. Although the flux of carbon through the C1 pathway is thought to be large, its intermediates are difficult to measure and relatively little is known about this potentially ubiquitous pathway. In this study, we evaluated the C1 pathway an...
Dry and hot: The hydraulic consequences of a climate change–type drought for Am...
Fontes, Clarissa Gouveia; Dawson, Todd E.; Jardine, Kolby J.; McDowell, Nathan G.; Gimenez, Bruno Oliva; Anderegg, Leander D.L.How plants respond physiologically to leaf warming and low water availability may determine how they will perform under future climate change. In 2015 – 2016, an unprecedented drought occurred across Amazonia with record-breaking high temperatures and low soil moisture, offering a unique opportunity to evaluate the performances of Amazonian trees to a severe climatic event. We quantified the responses of leaf w...
Effects of light and temperature on isoprene emission at different leaf develop...
Alves, Eliane Gomes; Harley, Peter C.; Gonçalves, José Francisco Carvalho de; Silva, Carlos Eduardo Moura da; Jardine, Kolby J.Isoprene emission from plants accounts for about one third of annual global volatile organic compound emissions. The largest source of isoprene for the global atmosphere is the Amazon Basin. This study aimed to identify and quantify the isoprene emission and photosynthesis at different levels of light intensity and leaf temperature, in three phenological phases (young mature leaf, old mature leaf and senescent ...
Dimethyl sulfide in the Amazon rain forest
Jardine, Kolby J.; Yáñez-Serrano, Ana Maria; Williams, Jonathan C.; Kunert, Norbert; Jardine, Angela B.; Taylor, Tyeen C.; Abrell, Leif; Artaxo, PauloSurface-to-atmosphere emissions of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) may impact global climate through the formation of gaseous sulfuric acid, which can yield secondary sulfate aerosols and contribute to new particle formation. While oceans are generally considered the dominant sources of DMS, a shortage of ecosystem observations prevents an accurate analysis of terrestrial DMS sources. Using mass spectrometry, we quantif...
Highly reactive light-dependent monoterpenes in the Amazon
Jardine, Angela B.; Jardine, Kolby J.; Fuentes, José D.; Martin, Scot T.; Martins, Giordane Augusto; Durgante, Flávia MachadoDespite orders of magnitude difference in atmospheric reactivity and great diversity in biological functioning, little is known about monoterpene speciation in tropical forests. Here we report vertically resolved ambient air mixing ratios for 12 monoterpenes in a central Amazon rainforest including observations of the highly reactive cis-β-ocimene (160 ppt), trans-β-ocimene (79 ppt), and terpinolene (32 ppt) wh...
Seasonality of isoprenoid emissions from a primary rainforest in central Amazonia
Alves, Eliane Gomes; Jardine, Kolby J.; Tóta, Júlio; Jardine, Angela B.; Yáñez-Serrano, Ana Maria; Karl, Thomas G.; Tavares, Julia ValentimTropical rainforests are an important source of isoprenoid and other volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to the atmosphere. The seasonal variation of these compounds is however still poorly understood. In this study, vertical profiles of mixing ratios of isoprene, total monoterpenes and total sesquiterpenes, were measured within and above the canopy, in a primary rainforest in central Amazonia, using a pr...
Intermediate-scale horizontal isoprene concentrations in the near-canopy forest...
Batista, Carla E.; Ye, Jianhuai; Ribeiro, Igor Oliveira; Guimarães, Patrícia Costa; Medeiros, Adan Sady S.; Barbosa, Rafael G.; Oliveira, Rafael L.The emissions, deposition, and chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are thought to be influenced by underlying landscape heterogeneity at intermediate horizontal scales of several hundred meters across different forest subtypes within a tropical forest. Quantitative observations and scientific understanding at these scales, however, remain lacking, in large part due to a historical absence of canopy a...
Methanol and isoprene emissions from the fast growing tropical pioneer species ...
Jardine, Kolby J.; Jardine, Angela B.; Souza, Vinicius F.; Carneiro, Vilany Matilla Colares; Ceron, João Vitor Barbosa; Gimenez, Bruno OlivaIsoprene (Is) emissions by plants represent a loss of carbon and energy resources leading to the initial hypothesis that fast growing pioneer species in secondary tropical forests allocate carbon primarily to growth at the expense of isoprenoid defenses. In this study, we quantified leaf isoprene and methanol emissions from the abundant pantropical pioneer tree species Vismia guianensis and ambient isoprene con...
Green leaf volatile emissions during high temperature and drought stress in a c...
Jardine, Kolby J.; Chambers, Jeffrey Quintin; Holm, Jennifer A.; Jardine, Angela B.; Fontes, Clarissa Gouveia; Zorzanelli, Raquel F.Prolonged drought stress combined with high leaf temperatures can induce programmed leaf senescence involving lipid peroxidation, and the loss of net carbon assimilation during early stages of tree mortality. Periodic droughts are known to induce widespread tree mortality in the Amazon rainforest, but little is known about the role of lipid peroxidation during drought-induced leaf senescence. In this study, we ...
