To those who are attending this year's AGU conference, please consider submitting an abstract to our session on Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions in urban areas. The abstract deadline is 30 July 2025. Hope to see some of your there! @huiwangisop.bsky.social @evayp.bsky.social @qzhu.bsky.social

Check out the latest research from our group at UC Irvine. We show that some plants (e.g., sedges and cypresses) can significantly increase their volatile emissions during a heatwave and adversely impact air quality. #BVOC @huiwangisop.bsky.social ps.uci.edu/news/3258

Dear colleagues, I would like to use my first Bluesky post to share our highlighted paper in PNAS about the discovery of a strong temperature response, with a Q10 over 7, for isoprene emissions from sedges and their role in affecting air quality during heat waves.

Biogenic isoprene emissions from herbaceous plants are generally lower than those from trees. However, our study finds widespread isoprene emission...
