Rapport Expertises ADEMEVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are essential compounds for atmospheric chemistry that contributeto the production of pollutants that are harmful to human health and the environment: ozone (O3) andsecondary organic aerosols (SOA). The fluxes of most VOCs, 90 % of which are biogenic (BVOCs), arenot fully quantified. Managed ecosystems, which represent about 50 % of the land area in Europe, arethe largest potential VOC source. Today, it is estimated that forests account for 55 % of the total,agricultural cover 27 %, and grasslands, wetlands and shrubs for 18 % (Karl, 2009). Furthermore, theseestimates do not adequately take into account the effects of agricultural practices due to a lack of reliabledata, especially r...
