In the eastern part of Holland, premature senescence of needles of Scots pine and Douglas fir has been found over a wide area, and in May 1983 acute damage to pine trees was discovered in places. Subsequent tests revealed no evidence of attack on the roots by pathogens or by fungi, and acid rain is considered a possible cause. It is also of note that in 1974 damage to pine trees was found near Rouen, France, which exhibited symptoms similar to those found in the Black Forest and more recently in parts of Italy, air pollution is believed to be a contributory cause of similar stress found with pine trees. 

The vertical concentration profiles of biogenic VOCs in a forest canopy were measured, and there were major differences in VOC emission between daytime and nighttime [70,71]. The canopy fluxes of isoprenoids above the Norway spruce forest were determined by GC and PTR-MS with relaxed eddy accumulation (REA) method [72], In the use of REA, samples were analyzed at two different reservoirs, which depended on the direction of the vertical wind w ( up-draught reservoir in case of w > 0 and down-draught reservoir in case of w < 0). Subsequently, the diurnal variation of biogenic VOCs was measured at 12 m (in the treetop) and at 24 m (above the canopy) [73], By using PTR-MS coupled with the eddy covariance technique and GC-flame ionization detector (FID) with a REA system, the mixing ratios and fluxes of total monoterpenes, from a ponderosa pine plantation [74] and from Scots pine... 

Rinne et al. used PTR-MS with a disjunct eddy covariance method to measure the fluxes of methanol, acetaldehyde and monoterpenes above a Scots pine (Pirns sylvestris) forest in Finland [90]. Chemical modeling showed that there was little loss owing to reaction and that the VOC fluxes followed the traditional exponential temperature-dependent emission...
