Grid cells where isoprene mixing ratio is lower than 50 pptv are not shown. A team of researchers from the US, Denmark and New Zealand have discovered a process through which a prevalent biogenic nonmethane hydrocarbon compound emitted by trees—isoprene—forms atmospheric particulate matter (i.e., Paulot et al.
