Titel des Programms
Ecology of Plant Volatiles, from Molecules to the Globe (EuroVOL)

Teilnehmende Länder
Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal Slovak Republic, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey

Ziel
The overall objective of EuroVOL will be to understand the roles of biogenic volatiles in the food-web and in plant interactions with the environment under current and future climate, and changes of land cover.

Inhalt
EuroVOL will aim at: 1) understanding biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) synthesis and emission (from leaf to globe); and 2) understanding BVOC consequences (from individuals to communities). To reach these scientific objectives, the programme schematically outlines the following specific topics:

(i) The short vs. long-term control of environmental factors on BVOC emission
(ii) The role of BVOC in plant protection against environmental abiotic stresses
(iii) A new class of stressors: anthropogenic pollutants and BVOC
(iv) Global change influences on BVOC emission
(v) BVOC-mediated plant communication in the trophic webs and in a changing environment
(vi) Land use change impact on BVOC emission.
(vii) Modelling BVOC and BVOC effects on past atmospheric chemistry and climate
