To review the extant data base of biogenic sulfur emissions for terrestrial and oceanic environments and to summarize direct estimates of emissions where possible. 

Some plants are also known to emit dimethyl sulfide, DMS, (13.371. carbonyl sulfide, COS, (291. and carbon disulfide, CS (13.37-411. and possibly ethyl mercaptan (40.411. A study conducted in a tropical rain forest which focused on Stryphnodendron excelsum is trteated in more detail in a following chapter (411. It is quite possible that additional studies as described in Chapter 5 (411 will lead to die discovery of other terrestrial "hot spots which may be important in biogenic sulfur cycling. 

It is also possible that plants emit volatile sulfur containing compounds which are not easily analyzed by current gas chromatographic methods. Thus, the use of other analytical methods may reveal compounds as yet unidentified which serve as a source of volatile biogenic sulfur compounds.
