The short-term relationships of monoterpene emission with temperature and relative humidity were studied in Pinus halepensis L. and Quercus ilex L. seedlings grown in air-conditioned chamber. In P. halepensis terpene emission rate increased with temperature (from 15 to 35 °C) and relative humidity (from 40 - 60 to 65 - 95 %). In Q. ilex, a terpene non-storing species, it increased with temperature only at high relative humidities but not at relative humidities lower than 60 %.

Keywords: limonene; myrcene; α-pinene; terpene non-storing species; terpene storing species
Subjects: limonene emission; myrcene emission; a-pinene emission; Pinus halepensis; Quercus ilex; terpene emission, temperature, humidity; terpene, storing and non-storing species
