,
MT_B

  • Label: Monoterpene Beta Value
  • Definition: Monoterpene emission rates are primarily driven by temperature, which can be parameterized by a Beta (B)-factor (i.e. emission rate = A*exp(B*T) where A is an empirically determined constant). Branch-level emission rate measurements were plotted vs. temperature and an exponential curve fit was used to determine the B-factors for each monoterpene class and each tree species. A Beta (B) factor was then used to fit emission rates to an exponential curve.
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified

,
SQT_B

  • Label: Sesquiterpene Beta Value
  • Definition: Sesquiterpene emission rates are primarily driven by temperature, which can be parameterized by a Beta (B)-factor (i.e. emission rate = A*exp(B*T) where A is an empirically determined constant). Branch-level emission rate measurements were plotted vs. temperature and an exponential curve fit was used to determine the B-factors for each sesquiterpene class and each tree species. A Beta (B) factor was then used to fit emission rates to an exponential curve.
