Short summary
Environmental stresses can have large impacts on the emissions of volatile organic compounds from plants, affecting both the amount and the composition of emissions. In this work we demonstrate the variety of responses among five coniferous trees species to one stress-simulated herbivory. The observed responses would lead to significant changes to the atmospheric chemistry in forested regions, highlighting the continued need for improved understanding of biosphere-atmosphere relationships.
